I followed all of the steps to run the Drupal Upgrade, from 6 to 8. It has been stuck for 53% for a few hours now and I am not sure what to do. If I close out, will I mess up anything? And does anyone know how I can fix this and successfully update Drupal? Thanks.

Here is what it currently is displaying above the 53% loading bar.

" If I close out, will I mess up anything?"

Yes, it'll mess things up if you close your page while it's migrating.

This is an old post but I'm currently having this same problem while using the migrate UI to migrate my site to Drupal 8, and I've seen this particular issue mentioned elsewhere a few times too.

In my case, it got stuck at "Continuing with User accounts" and was only processing 1 item every few minutes. Left it overnight to do its work but it didn't even advance another 1% in the progress bar the next day.

After looking around, I found this related post at : https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2486919#comment-11148723

"However, it turns out that I created the problem by using the same MySQL username for the Drupal 6 and Drupal 8 databases. Once I used different MySQL usernames for each database, this problem went away and the upgrade process was able to finish."

So using two different MySQL usernames worked for me (one for the source when you enter in the migrate UI, and a different one for Drupal in settings.php). I also had to make sure the privileges for both those MySQL username accounts had high privileges - the same as what root has (so everything turned on)
