# Stopping Runs

There are three resources to stop a load test:

- Stop. Stops the run gradually. Using stop, you can change the post-run action defined in the timeslot and specify whether to release the timeslot at the end of the run. See stop
- Stop Now. Stops all Vusers immediately. See stopNow
- Abort Run. See abort

Stop run actions apply only to `stop`. They have no effect when `abort` and `stopNow` are posted.
