Browser close reasons
A browser session may close for a variety of reasons, occasionally due to connection errors or errors in the headless browser instance. As a best practice, wrap puppeteer.connect or puppeteer.launch in a try/catch ↗ statement.
The reason that a browser closed can be found on the Browser Rendering Dashboard in the logs tab ↗. When Cloudflare begins charging for the Browser Rendering API, we will not charge when errors are due to underlying Browser Rendering infrastructure.
| Reasons a session may end | 
|---|
| User opens and closes browser normally. | 
| Browser is idle for 60 seconds. | 
| Chromium instance crashes. | 
| Error connecting with the client, server, or Worker. | 
| Browser session is evicted. |
