 If you have an orchestration instance that is taking too long to run, or you just need to stop it before it completes for any reason, you have the option to terminate it.
 
-You can use the `TerminateAsync` (.NET) or the `terminate` (JavaScript) method of the [orchestration client binding](durable-functions-bindings.md#orchestration-client) to terminate instances. The two parameters are an `instanceId` and a `reason` string, which are written to logs and to the instance status. A terminated instance stops running as soon as it reaches the next `await` (.NET) or `yield` (JavaScript) point, or it terminates immediately if it's already on an `await` or `yield`.

+A terminated instance will eventually transition into the `Terminated` state. However, this transition will not happen immediately. Rather, the terminate operation will be queued in the task hub along with other operations for that instance. You can use the [instance query](#query-instances) APIs to know when a terminated instance has actually reached the `Terminated` state.

 > Instance termination doesn't currently propagate. Activity functions and sub-orchestrations run to completion, regardless of whether you've terminated the orchestration instance that called them.
