While a session is active, you can easily **pause** or **end** it from the menu bar:
Click the Creative Command icon in the menu bar.
Hover over your current session (e.g., ✍️ Just Write).
You’ll see options to **Pause Session** or **End Session**.

#### **Pause Session**
If you’ve enabled [[Pause Credits]] in Settings, you can pause your session for **5 minutes at a time**, up to **5 times per day**. This is great if you need a quick break without ending your focus session entirely.
#### **Cancel Session**
If [[Scheduling Sessions#Allowing a Scheduled Session to End Early|Allow me to end this session early]] is enabled for your session, you’ll see the option to end the active session directly from the menu bar. Ending a session immediately ends it and unblocks all apps.
**Accidentally forgot to enable the cancel policy?**
Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Even if canceling isn’t enabled for your session, you can still exit with a bit of built-in friction. This [[Cancel All Sessions]] ensures you’re never truly locked out, while still encouraging commitment to your focus goals.
