Will my current runs continue to flow if I turn off my flow

I intend to turn off my flow to transfer it to another flow. However, I have runs that are ongoing. These rely on a 4 step approval card process. Will
 
(i) my current run stop working?
(ii) Approvals and the subsequent actions stop working?
 
Thanks!

    I just built a simple flow with a button trigger, a 15 minute delay, and a compose action. When I ran it and then turned the flow off, the running instance continued to run with the flow turned off.
     
    So you should be safe to turn off your flow. If you're calling child flows that may throw a complication that I didn't test for.
