After a stack update has begun, you can cancel the stack update if it is still in the UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS state. After an update has completed, you can no longer cancel it. You can, however, update a stack with any previous or desired settings.
If you cancel a stack update, it will be rolled back to the stack configuration that existed prior to initiating the stack update.
To cancel a stack update
In the CloudFormation Stacks section of the AWS CloudFormation console, select the stack that is currently being updated (its state must be UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS) .
Either click the Cancel Update button, or right-click on your selected stack and click Cancel Update from the context menu.

To continue canceling the update, click Yes, Cancel Update in the confirmation dialog that appears. Otherwise, click No to abort canceling the update.

The stack will proceed to the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_IN_PROGRESS state. After the update cancellation is complete, the stack will have the state UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE.
