Azure Resource Group Stuck in "Moving Resources"

I was doing some cleanup moving some Azure Cloud Services to a newly created Resource group with the following command

Find-AzureRmResource -ResourceNameContains "oldresourcename" |
Move-AzureRmResource -DestinationResourceGroupName "newresourcegroup" -Verbose

Everything was going fine, but the last one I ran seems to be taking a very long time. It is a simple CS with one worker role and one web role and small size.

The command has been in a not completed state for over an hour, and out on the Portal, both resource groups have "Moving Resources" in purple at the top of the page. I am going to wait until tomorrow to see if it still persists, but it should not be taking this long.

Is there a way to cancel or halt this operation? The concern is that both Resource Groups are locked till this process is complete, which will be an issue moving forward.

From my experience the move will eventually time out if there's an issue. I had a similar issue moving a web app and the SSL cert caused the move to fail, but it took a couple of hours for it to fail.

More information from Microsoft on what is able to move:
