Pin a cluster 30 days after a cluster is terminated, it is permanently deleted. To keep an interactive cluster configuration even after a cluster has been terminated for more than 30 days, an administrator can pin the cluster. Up to 20 clusters can be pinned.

You're trying to keep the configuration, not keep the cluster running. According to Satabricks, the answer is to pin the cluster. https://docs.databricks.com/clusters/clusters-manage.html#pin-a-cluster
