Documented steps
List sessions: GET https://api.hyperbrowser.ai/api/sessions?status=active&page=1 with 'x-api-key'. Query params: page (default 1), status (active|closed|error, optional). Response: {sessions: Session[], totalCount, page, pageSize}.
Each Session has id, teamId, status, startTime, endTime, createdAt, launchState (creation params), creditsUsed.
Get one session: GET https://api.hyperbrowser.ai/api/session/{id} -> SessionDetail (adds sessionUrl, liveUrl, wsEndpoint on top of Session fields).
Stop a session: PUT https://api.hyperbrowser.ai/api/session/{id}/stop with 'x-api-key' - idempotent, safe to call multiple times.
Set an explicit per-session timeout at creation with timeoutMinutes (1-720); if omitted it falls back to the team default Session Timeout at https://app.hyperbrowser.ai/settings.
Wrap all session usage in try/finally (and SIGTERM handlers) so client.sessions.stop(id) always runs; periodically audit client.sessions.list({status:'active'}) and stop unexpected ones. Ref: https://docs.hyperbrowser.ai/sessions/overview
Known gotchas
Automatic timeout is not a substitute for cleanup - the docs warn to always explicitly stop sessions to avoid unexpected charges.
timeoutMinutes is bounded 1-720 (max 12 hours); values outside that are invalid.
keepAlive prevents auto-stop on disconnect but stops working the moment all pages are closed - the session auto-stops anyway.
The list 'status' filter only accepts active/closed/error - paginate per-status for a full inventory.
creditsUsed can be null while a session is still active or before billing finalizes - don't assume it's always a number when auditing cost.
