How to stop a running agent
Changed your mind? Open the agents view, find the running job, and tap Stop. The agent halts and partial work is discarded.
If you start an agent and realize you do not need the result, or the instruction was not quite right, you can stop it at any time. Stopping halts the agent immediately and discards any partial work. Nothing is committed to your account until you review the finished output.

Stopping discards progress
What if I just want to edit the instruction instead of stopping?+
You cannot edit an instruction mid-run. Stop the current agent and start a new one with the corrected instruction. The original instruction is saved in your history for reference.
Does stopping an agent cost anything?+
Agents use compute while running, but stopping prevents further use. You are not charged extra for stopping; it simply ends the session.
The Stop button is unresponsive. What do I do?+
Check your internet connection. If the agent cannot reach the server to confirm the stop, it may keep running locally. Force-quitting and reopening the app clears any stuck state.
