logsUnsubscribe

The Solana logsUnsubscribe method cancels a log subscription created by logsSubscribe, stopping further transaction log notifications.

Usage Notes

• Must be called via a WebSocket endpoint; HTTP is not supported.
• After unsubscribing, you cannot re-subscribe using the same subscription ID. If you need a new subscription, you must call logsSubscribe again.
• If the WebSocket connection is dropped, subscriptions are automatically cancelled, so you must re-establish subscriptions upon reconnection.
