STATUS_PROFILING_NOT_STOPPED

The profile object is still running

This status is the opposite lifecycle mismatch from STATUS_PROFILING_NOT_STARTED. The current profile remains active while the requested operation requires it to be stopped. Native profile objects collect samples into configured buffers and have an explicit start/stop state.

Identify which thread or subsystem owns the active profile and whether a previous stop request failed. Do not close over the state transition in diagnostics: capture the handle and call sequence because two components independently managing one profile can produce intermittent start/stop races.

What to inspect

Record the complete create/start/stop sequence for the profile handle.
Check whether another component still owns or expects the active profile.
Stop the profile through its owning path before performing the incompatible operation.
