# Halting Failover

The **Halt** action interrupts plan execution. Any steps currently executing will be completed, then the plan will enter the *HALTED* state. To learn how to work with *HALTED* CDP replica plans, see [Managing Halted Plans](managing_halted_cdp_plans.md).

To stop a running CDP replica plan:

1. Navigate to **Recovery Plans**.
2. Select the plan and click **Halt**.
3. In the **Halt Plan Execution** window, do the following:

   1. For security purposes, retype your password and click **Next**.
   2. Review configuration information and click **Halt**.
