title: Can I halt ongoing operations without terminating my R session?
body: <p>I sent API requests to get the address from a list of approximately 80,000 APIs. </p>
  
  <p>I used the Google Maps API and the process finished, since the last request was 6 hours ago. </p>
  
  <pre><code>library(ggmap)
  locations &lt;- vector(mode = "list", length = nrow(data))
  for(i in 1:nrow(data)){
    gc &lt;- c(data[i, 2], data[i, 1]) 
    locations[i] &lt;- revgeocode(as.numeric(gc))
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is still printing out the messages received from each API request and I'd like to use my R session to work on other problems. I can't terminate the session since the data only exists in my local environment and I haven't yet written it to a CSV or JSON file.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I've tried: I pressed stop a number of times.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I'd like to try: I could turn off my RStudio Server instance or I could turn off my EC2 instance that is hosting RStudio Server.</p>
  
  <p>My concern is those will terminate the environment and cause me to lose the variables.</p>
  
  <p>Do I have to just wait it out?</p>
