Is there a way to stop the "Source" block from generating agents after a specific time in AnyLogic?

Utilizing a source generating agents on an Interarrival time basis, I would like to stop the source block from generating agents after a certain amount of time passing so that the model can continue to process the agents.

Sure. If it is a inter-arrival source block, make it use a variable as the interrarrival time, of type double: enter image description here

Then, create an event that triggers once only, after your specific time. Make it change the variable to 0 as below. Make SURE to trigger it not at time 0 (as in the screen but when you need it!):

NOTE: Do not set myRate = 0;. Instead, set it to infinity` to actually have no more arrivals. enter image description here

One option to encapsulate all the logic inside the source block, without external events or variables, would be to select Multiple agents per arrival as true and then have a conditional statement for the number of agents, for example time() > 10 ? 0 : 1, so that after 10 model time units there will no agents arriving
