Amazon Lex SDK only running one command - node.js

Question

I am attempting to use the AWS SDK version 3 and the Lex Runtime client V2. (Documentation)
What I don't understand is why can I not reuse my client instance to send multiple commands? See the code below. I am attempting to do a basic flow of putting a session, recognizing the text, and then deleting the session. When I comment the code out to run each command individually it works. Why does my application stop after running only the first client.send command? All the documentation ends up doing is creating a new client for each command because the examples are showing multiple services being used not the same service (example)
const {
LexRuntimeV2Client,
PutSessionCommand,
RecognizeTextCommand,
} = require("#aws-sdk/client-lex-runtime-v2");
const AWS = require("aws-sdk");
require("dotenv").config();
const sessionCustomId = "12345678";
const getLexClient = () => {
return new LexRuntimeV2Client({
credentials: new AWS.Credentials(
process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY,
process.env.AWS_SECRET_KEY
),
region: process.env.AWS_REGION,
});
};
const main = async () => {
await console.log(
`******* ENV VARS *********\n\n AWS_REGION : ${process.env.AWS_REGION}\n DEWEY_ALIAS_ID : ${process.env.DEWEY_ALIAS_ID}\n DEWEY_BOT_ID : ${process.env.DEWEY_BOT_ID}\n LOCAL_ID : ${process.env.LOCALE_ID}\n\n`
);
