 ## Notes
 
+Calling `Cypress.stop()` will stop the execution of remaining tests, but any code after `Cypress.stop()` in the same container block (such as `beforeEach` or `afterEach`) will still run. To prevent additional logic from executing after `Cypress.stop()`, add a `return` statement immediately after it:
+
+```javascript
+if (someCondition) {
+  Cypress.stop()
+  return // Prevents further code execution in this block
+}
+```
+
 ### `cypress run` vs `cypress open` behavior
 
 Calling `Cypress.stop()` during `cypress run` will skip any remaining tests in the current specfile. If recording to Cypress Cloud, all screenshots, videos, and [Test Replay](/cloud/features/test-replay) will still successfully upload.
