We are running a webinar via Zoom Sessions. Where is the ability to start or stop the recording manually? The recording controls are not present in their usual location!
If the "auto-start" was not configured beforehand, you cannot change this without restarting the ongoing session either.

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @benr77.
You should be able to pause or stop and restart the Cloud Recording as the Host. Did you check the More … menu to see if your recording controls were residing there? Many of the menu items will migrate to the More menu if unused for many sessions.
