# sessions

query · in the family [Billing and the wallet](/reference/billing-and-the-wallet/)

## What it does

Your group’s sittings, newest first — every sign-in makes one, and ended sittings stay on the list so their usage can still be drilled.

ONE page of YOUR group's sessions, NEWEST FIRST: every sign-in/exchange mints one; terminals stay listed (an ended sitting still has usage to drill — no-delete); doomed drops per page. `limit` clamps to \[1, 200], default 100; `nextToken` = the prior page's cursor, verbatim — opaque + tenant-bound (a malformed or foreign token refuses VALIDATION/INVALID). Walk until `nextToken` is null (doomed drop per page — a page may hold fewer than `limit`). SELF-group BY CONSTRUCTION (no target arg exists). Requires authentication.

## What happens

A read over your own group’s session records, one recent page at a time; nothing changes. It shows who sat when and whether the sitting is still open — it never shows what anyone did (the usage page answers that).

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Billing and the wallet** — Your platform bill, token purchases and the usage and cost reads.

- Owner
- Manager
- Associate Manager
- An API key whose scope allows `api:sessions`

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | [Int](/types/#scalars) | no | How many records to answer at most; a page may hold fewer. |
| `nextToken` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | The cursor from the previous page, passed back exactly as received. |

## Returns

[SessionPage](/types/SessionPage/) `SessionPage!` — One NEWEST-FIRST page of the sessions listing.

This is a page: `items` holds the records and `nextToken` the cursor for the next page — pass it back verbatim until it is null. See [paging](/guides/paging-and-the-cursor-grammar/).
