To pause and resume an

AgentSession

in LiveKit without relying on

sleep

, you can use the following methods: • Pausing Operations: ◦ `drain()`: This method pauses operations by waiting for current activities to complete. Example:

await session.drain()

◦ `interrupt()`: This method interrupts current speech generation and returns an

asyncio.Future

. Example:

future = session.interrupt()
await future

• Resuming Operations: ◦ `start()`: After draining or closing a session, you can restart it by calling

start()

again. Example:

await session.start(agent)

◦ `update_agent()`: This method transitions between different agents, effectively pausing the current agent and resuming with a new one. Example:

session.update_agent(new_agent)

These methods allow you to manage the session lifecycle effectively without relying on

sleep
