leave it at that
Don't push further
To leave it at that is to stop at the current point without pursuing a matter further—no more discussion, no additional action: We disagree, but let's leave it at that.
The phrase often signals a desire to avoid conflict or overcomplication: I could say more, but I'll leave it at that.
