# End Interview Session

> End a public interview at the user's request.

Distinct from `/fail` (connection error) and `/pause` (resumable). If the
interview had already reached its natural end (every topic covered) the
End click is recorded as a natural `completed` — the participant simply
finished; the agent may have delivered its goodbye without ever calling
`deliver_farewell`, so nothing auto-completed. Otherwise it marks the
conversation, session, and contact `ended_early` so dashboards can tell a
genuine early exit apart from a natural completion, and stamps
`ended_at` / `duration_minutes` so call detail pages render.
