clearInterval()

The global clearInterval() method cancels a timed, repeating action which was previously established by a call to setInterval().

intervalID

The identifier of the repeated action you want to cancel. This ID was returned by the corresponding call to setInterval().

It's worth noting that the pool of IDs used by setInterval() and setTimeout() are shared, which means you can technically use clearInterval() and clearTimeout() interchangeably. However, for clarity, you should avoid doing so.

See the setInterval() examples.
