Expire a session

Manually expires an active session, preventing the user from completing the verification flow. Any in-progress capture is canceled.

The session can be re-activated later using the POST /sessions/{session_id}/resume endpoint.

Sessions that are already completed, expired, or redacted cannot be expired.
