{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}{{AvailableInWorkers}}
The global **`clearInterval()`** method cancels a timed, repeating action which
was previously established by a call to {{domxref("setInterval", "setInterval()")}}.
If the parameter provided does not identify a previously established action,
this method does nothing.
## Syntax
```js-nolint
clearInterval(intervalID)
```
### Parameters
- `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
{{domxref("setInterval", "setInterval()")}} and
{{domxref("setTimeout()")}} are shared, which
means you can technically use `clearInterval()` and
{{domxref("clearTimeout", "clearTimeout()")}} interchangeably.
However, for clarity, you should avoid doing so.
### Return value
None ({{jsxref("undefined")}}).
## Examples
See the [`setInterval()` examples](/en-US/docs/Web/API/setInterval#examples).
