     Consider multi-session for potential cost savings, but be mindful of
     performance impacts from shared resources. You might need to adjust
     cluster size if slowdowns occur, which could affect overall cost.
+* `force_new`: passing `force_new=True` forces Wherobots Cloud to create

     an opportunity for clients to reconnect to a previously-established
