Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for allowing an automated assistant routine to be interrupted during performance of the routine. A routine can correspond to a set of actions to be performed at the direction of the automated assistant. When the routine is initialized and a user subsequently issues a command to interrupt the routine, the automated assistant can modify a status identifier for the routine. That status identifier can be stored at a database and allow other applications and/or devices that are operating to complete the routine to be put on notice that the user has requested the routine be interrupted. The database can be accessible to one or more devices and/or applications, such as third party applications, in order to provide a medium through which the devices and/or applications can check the statuses of various automated assistant routines.
