If you were actually entitled to stop the game

when big, potentially all-in pots are in contention, games are regularly "stopped," for stacks to be counted, for difficult decisions to be mulled over, etc.

why should your objection to "stopping the game" take priority over an accurate count when thousands of dollars could be at stake? bigger games pay time charges anyway, so it's not costing the house any money, and the players pretty much all give each other some courtesy (in terms of a hand taking a very long time to play out) in large pots, since they would like to receive similar courtesy when they're in those spots as well.
