Gracefully closing the crawler with keepalive flag true

I'm using puppeteer crawler with
keepAlive
as
true
and
crawler.run()
(without await).

This runs the crawler infinitely and if I insert new requests to the requests queue, they get processed.

(I'm using non persisted request queue)

What I want is to gracefully close the crawler, as in If I get a signal to close, I want to process all the pending requests in the requests queue first and then kill the crawler.

Right now If I do
crawler.teardown()
, it abruptly closes the crawler instances without processing the pending requests.
