Edit, May 2025:
There is no reason to stop a G7. It is not possible to do it even in engineering mode any longer.
Even if you were able to stop a G7, it would still continue to transmit. So, you don't benefit by stopping it. If you think that after you stop it, it will not interfere when you attempt to connect to your next sensor, you are mistaken. A G7 that has stopped will continue to transmit and you can continue to establish connectivity to it as long as it has battery, which takes about 100 days.

If you find yourself in a situation that you need to stop the session on xDrip and you are certain you don't care about the session on G7, so, you don't mind stopping it, you still can in engineering mode.
I am still running lots of tests hoping to smooth out everything.
My worry was that someone may stop not realizing how final it is with G7 and then it will be too late to do anything. That's why I removed it. But, it was not approved. So, I put it behind engineering mode. And then, it was approved.
If you accidentally stop a G6, you can still restart it. It will not be very easy. But, it will not be impossible.
If you stop a G7, it will be impossible to restart it.
