stopping point

Where progress halts

A stopping point is a place or moment where progress pauses or ends.

It can be physical—a location along a route where travelers rest—or abstract: Let's find a good stopping point before we break for lunch.

The term implies a natural or convenient place to halt rather than an arbitrary one.
