You should be still able to see the session in:

nxserver --list

There is a timeout and if that is not reached as you try to login again, the 
session is still running and not yet suspended.

One fix will be the support for resume of "Running" sessions, which is in the 
FR queue. 

For now you can just do from the new session:

nxserver --suspend <username>

And then reconnect to your session.
