End a session - AWS Systems Manager
Ending a session (console)Ending a session (AWS CLI)

End a session

You can use the AWS Systems Manager console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to end a session that you started in your account. If you click the Terminate button for a session in the console or call the TerminateSession API action by using the AWS CLI, Session Manager permanently ends the session and closes the data connection between the Session Manager client and SSM Agent on the managed node. You can't resume a terminated session.

If there is no user activity in an open session for 20 minutes, the idle state triggers a timeout. Session Manager doesn't call TerminateSession, but it does close the underlying channel. You can't resume a session closed because of idle timeout.
