# relinquish()

Ends the presentment intent assertion.

```
final func relinquish() async throws
```

## Discussion

Call this function after your presentment task finishes.

A [`CredentialSession.PresentmentIntentAssertion`](/documentation/SecureElementCredential/CredentialSession/PresentmentIntentAssertion) times out after 60 seconds. If you don’t explicitly relinquish the object by then, the session produces a [`CredentialSession.Event.presentmentIntentAssertionTimeout`](/documentation/SecureElementCredential/CredentialSession/Event/presentmentIntentAssertionTimeout) event, and invalidates this object.
