Lifecycle of a google cloud firebase background function?

I've been using the GCP Firebase Functions for about a week now for work.
My question is regarding the lifecycle(dunno if that's the right term) of Background functions.
Say for example I get a CSV file from a bucket
const file = bucket('foo').file('some/file.csv');
after which I download the file and then parse the CSV with some function, and then I send it to firestore.
file.download()
.then(data => parseCSV(data[0]))
.then(parsedData => sendToFirestore())
.catch(error => {
// handle...
})
In an HTTPS function, all I would have do to end the function would be to call res.end() or something similar.
But how does a background function register that it should stop running or that it's done?

I would suggest you watch the videos from the official series: firebase.google.com/docs/functions/video-series, in particular the ones titled "Learn JavaScript Promises".
