Is there a way to recover lost recording sessions that was accidentally closed? I remember vaguely that the recording is somewhere in /tmp but could not remember exactly where.

This happened quit a few times in the last few month and I've seen other issues that was brought up related to persisting recordings during a recording.

If you have asciinema 2.0+ then the recording gets writtent in real time to a file in /tmp. The file has a random name but always gets .cast extension, so you can ls *.cast or find /tmp -name '*.cast' to find all that weren't finished.
