I am trying to stop building [https://circleci.com/gh/RicinApp/tox-vapi](https://circleci.com/gh/RicinApp/tox-vapi) but clicking the ‘Stop Building’ button does nothing

Looks like the API request gives a 403 forbidden

DELETE [https://circleci.com/api/v1.1/project/github/RicinApp/tox-vapi/enable](https://circleci.com/api/v1.1/project/github/RicinApp/tox-vapi/enable) [HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden 74ms]

@benwaffle You may need to double check that `circle-token` is included in the request.

I’m not calling the API, I just copied the line from Firefox network logs. This happened after clicking the Stop Building button in my browser

Like Ben, I have the same problem from the CircleCI dashboard.

I’m also having this problem. Has there ever been any resolution. I try to stop a project from building and the interface animates the stop button to a narrow, empty rectangle then just animates it back out. No messages.
