give it a rest
Cease your nagging
Give it a rest is an imperative telling someone to stop doing something annoying—usually talking, complaining, or repeating themselves: Give it a rest, would you? I've heard enough about your diet.
The phrase suggests the listener is weary and the speaker should take a break from whatever they're going on about.
