# Stop

> The one channel the client opens on the scope: a channel request with an empty payload ends the watch; the server sends nothing on the channel, sends no response after receiving the stop, and sends the response finish of the scope.

Canonical: https://provider.diverge.network/2.3.0/endpoints/volumes-watch/client/stop/
Specification revision: 2.3.0

The client ends the watch by opening one channel on the scope, as
[Channels](/2.3.0/frames/channels/) provides. The channel request is the
stop. The server sends no frame on the channel; the response finish
of the scope is its answer.

- **The request.** The payload of the channel request is empty. Every
  channel request the client sends on this scope is the stop,
  whatever its payload. [Request](/2.3.0/endpoints/volumes-watch/client/stop/request/)
  states its form.
- **The response.** The server sends no channel response and no
  channel response finish on the channel. It sends no response on the
  scope after it receives the stop, and it sends the response finish
  of the scope. [Response](/2.3.0/endpoints/volumes-watch/client/stop/response/)
  states the sequence.
- **One channel.** The client opens at most one channel on the scope.
  A second channel request on the scope has the effect of the first
  and no other effect.
- **The volume.** The stop does not alter the volume, its content, or
  any other watch on it.
