What is a SES_STATE file?

SES_STATE files mostly belong to Transmission. The SES_STATE file is an internal state file used by BitTorrent clients to store session data. It holds information that lets the software resume operations such as torrent progress and DHT node status.
This file is mainly used by the Transmission client, as seen on the Transmission website, but similar files are also used by qBittorrent to track I2P DHT node state.
Key details as outlined by FilExt.com include:

Storage of active torrent session information

Recording DHT node parameters for I2P systems

Automatic management by the client software

A mix of plain text and encoded data

FilExt.com tip: It is best to use the relevant BitTorrent client interface to view or update these files rather than editing them manually.
