What the stop does

The emergency stop is one control, on the Agent settings screen, that stops automation across your whole workspace. You can add a short reason, which is recorded with the stop.
Aptoria doesn’t carry out routine work on its own yet. Today you can set the limits it will work within, and its hardcoded limits are published. Nothing runs on its own in Aptoria today, so the stop matters once its planned automation is enabled.

Clearing the stop

Clearing the stop never turns automation back on by itself. Anything you want running again has to be turned back on deliberately.

What it will do when automation is enabled

When autonomous features are enabled, the stop will also cancel anything waiting in its cancellation window, and cancelled actions will stay cancelled after you clear the stop.

Frequently asked questions

No. Clearing the stop never turns automation back on by itself; you turn features back on deliberately.

Is there anything for the emergency stop to halt today?
