# Terminate challenge attempt

Challenges are designed as a set of questions that must be answered in a single attempt,
without the ability to stop and resume it later. In this flow, a challenge attempt should be
terminated immediately if the user leaves the question page.

<Note>
  All attempts that were not closed before the challenge end date will be terminated automatically.
</Note>

To immediately close a challenge attempt for the current API user, execute the `terminateChallengeAttempt` mutation.

<Note>
  Use `extraTimeSpent` parameter to add an extra time (in seconds) to the general time that the current API user spent on the given challenge.
</Note>
