Lifetime of tasks created by StartSpeechSynthesisTask

Question

I just began testing with the StartSpeechSynthesisTask api, and I noticed that every task I started is displayed in the list returned by ListSpeechSynthesisTasks.  
  
Am I supposed to delete the tasks when they are no longer needed, and if so how?  I am deleting the audio files written to S3, but I don't know how to manage the tasks.  
  
Thanks!

Hi James,  
  
Thank you for reaching out. You do not have to delete any request after they are processed, since this is expected API behaviour. `ListSpeechSynthesisTasks` api returns all requests if status is not set through call. You can set `Status=inProgress` or `Status=scheduled` in order to see the ones not processed yet. Optionally you can set `MaxResults` which will be listing most recent requests.  
  
You can see more details related to this api here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/API_ListSpeechSynthesisTasks.html  
  
Thanks,  
Fatih
