What causes a chat session to end in Zendesk messaging?

A chat session in Zendesk messaging can end due to inactivity or ticket status updates. Specifically, if a messaging visitor is inactive for more than 10 minutes, the session will end.

Additionally, if an agent updates the ticket status to pending or solved, the chat session will also conclude. Once a session ends, the delivery status of messages won't update to seen, and only one checkmark will be displayed.
