<div><br /></div>
<div>How do you gracefully exit from a state_timeout in a gen_statem? Generally, for a gen_statem, I can return “stop” or {stop, Reason} from a state function and the statem will terminate. However, if I use a state timeout method, returned from init:</div>

<div>{ok, new_state, State, {state_timeout, 2000}}</div>

<div>The new_state(state_timeout, Info, State) method is called after 2000. Returning “stop” from this given an error…:</div>

What can I return from this function to gracefully exit? Can this be done with state_timeout? If this is an obvious question, please point me in the right direction. The documentation here:<a href="http://erlang.org/doc/man/gen_statem.html">http://erlang.org/doc/man/gen_statem.html</a> doesn’t seem to mention any return from the state_timeout.
