The automatic annotater has been labeling for the entire night now. It has been stuck in this position for hours. Received this email in the middle of the night:

We just finished automatically labeling the images in your project! We found **2623** objects in **2024** images. The annotations took **1 hour, 24 minutes**.

However, the annotater is still going with 20 left. I don’t mind losing the last 20 images, but I do not want to lose all of them and have to restart. How do I force stop it inside the roboflow web application?

Thanks for the help!

Hi @T_O!  
I have cleared the block on your end, and will relay this issue to the appropriate team within Roboflow.

To answer your question, when you force stop the auto labeling, you will not lose the previously completed annotations.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, have a great day!!

Best Regards,  
Ford
