Feature Request: Add Method to Manually Close/Kill a Session

[AleefBilal]

Currently, there is no available method to explicitly kill or close a session after a desired operation has been completed using the Browserbase SDK or API that is designed for Playwright.

While it is possible to set an timeout as a workaround, it is not an optimal solution. This approach lacks precision and does not offer the control that a direct method (e.g., session.close() or session.terminate()) would provide.

Why this is important:

• Allows developers to gracefully end sessions immediately after their task is done.
• Helps manage session usage and API costs more effectively.
• Reduces unnecessary wait times or reliance on time-based workarounds.

Request: Please consider adding a dedicated method to manually close or kill sessions programmatically.

Thanks!

Ran into the same question. From the docs, it looks like the intended way to programmatically end a keepAlive session is client.sessions.update(session_id, status='REQUEST_RELEASE').

For normal sessions, closing the Playwright connection (browser.close()) should trigger auto-termination.

Agree that an explicit close() or terminate() method would be clearer though!
