How to stop in progress file vault encryption?

Enabled FileVault under preferences on my iMac and MBP. On the iMac when it restarted it brought up the login screen, entered my password, and then it goes to 99% but never logins. Tried to do disk repair but says its not mounted. Mounted and then ran disk repair but shows errors it can't resolve. While I want to look into that, on my MBP which is working under preferences it says file vault progress 1 minute remaining but has been saying that for over a day now. My thought is, if I restart my MBP it will end up in the same limbo state. So trying to fix this without restarting.


There is no option to stop encrpytion in progress in UI. In terminal when trying diskutil apfs decryptVolume disk1s1 it says it cant because its in progress of encrpyting. In older versions of Mac you could use a revert command but no longer available. What should I try?


To note it shows in terminal that its 43% complete and paused.


Also there is a new beta update available today, but once again am afraid to restart my computer out of fear it will end up in limbo as well.
