Understand a stopped or interrupted Max response

Stop response halts generation and can leave an incomplete answer.

Updated 2026-11-11

While Max is responding, the send control changes to Stop response. Use it when you want to stop the current generation rather than wait for the answer to finish.

A stopped or interrupted answer can remain visible with Response interrupted. This answer is incomplete. Read that notice before treating the visible text as a finished response.

If you still need an answer, send a clearer follow-up or use Try again when the error offers it. Explain the part you need addressed rather than assuming the interrupted answer contains every qualification or next step.

Stopping a response is not a way to reverse an action already confirmed elsewhere in the workspace. Check the original record for any separately completed operation. If the interruption followed a connection issue, preserve the question and inspect the conversation before retrying. When asking the team for help, include the error wording and company context without unnecessarily copying sensitive document contents.
