Aborted means it was stopped without ever being started All egress gets deleted from the cli/API database after 3 days, and from the analytics database after 3 months. They cannot be deleted otherwise Egress is billed from the time it is created, because it is reserving space and CPU while waiting to record

OK. So in general, is it fair to say that starting to deliver live streaming is the same as creating an egress?

Starting a live stream does mean creating an egress, but it is also possible to create an egress without starting the stream/recording, so the two are not equivalent
