In certain situations, a handle survives longer than we would like to wait for a flush to happen. In this cases, an explicit call to cease can help to indicate to the rest of the system that no more data follows immediately, which is equivalent to dropping the handle.
Specifically, in async code the handle can be long-lived and survive await points, which makes it more important to signal momentary completion to the system.
