You can sleep your Mac during encryption.
You can shutdown your Mac during encryption.
So just ignore it and let it finish.

Patience, I've seen it take two months so far.
Filevault state, open Terminal & paste these in…
fdesetup status
diskutil cs list | grep 'Conversion Progress'
ok thanks....
so its on the decryption process now and it's been weeks now...still estimating time remaining...
please can i quit the decryption process too...because its been long and still
Sure restart.
Have restart many times and still, decryption continues.
Is there any key to stop decryption too?
I don't think so, maybe boot from a different drive?
