# NINearbyObject.RemovalReason.timeout

NI timed out the session.

```
case timeout
```

## Discussion

The framework times out a session if the peer user closes the app, or if too much time passes in a suspended state (see [`sessionWasSuspended(_:)`](/documentation/NearbyInteraction/NISessionDelegate/sessionWasSuspended(_:))). NI may also time out a session to save device resources.

An app must watch for timed-out peers. If the app wishes to continue interaction with a timed-out peer device, the app must begin a new session.
