# Terminate service jobs
<a name="terminate-service-jobs"></a>

Use the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/batch/latest/APIReference/API_TerminateServiceJob.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/batch/latest/APIReference/API_TerminateServiceJob.html) operation to stop a running service job.

Terminate a specific service job:

```
aws batch terminate-service-job \
  --job-id a4d6c728-8ee8-4c65-8e2a-9a5e8f4b7c3d \
  --reason "Job terminated by user request"
```

When you terminate a service job, AWS Batch stops the job and notifies the target service. For SageMaker Training jobs, this will stop the training job in SageMaker AI as well.
