Yep, the feature to stop activities was removed in Plasma 6.5 because it didn't really work. So the button was mostly a lie, I'm afraid!

I understand... so, how can I cycle throught the activies that i really using in the session? i have a keyshortcut to next/prev activity, so now, the list is larger and I get some confused while cycling thanks again for your answer
I don't know, sorry. I don't use Activities, so I'm not familiar with what is and isn't possible there.

That is only partially correct. Yes, there were cases where it did not work (window shown on multiple activities, non-compliant programs), but there was a huge number of cases where it did work. With this change you just killed Plasma's best feature, the one I always advertised when people asked about Plasma. This is a sad day for Plasma.
Maybe "Stop" was a bit misleading, but this was the only way to hide an activity that is not currently in use (in my case: I am speaking in a time scale of months) so that it does not clutter panels or makes it a pain to cycle through activities. I support bringing it back (maybe renaming it to something like "Hide" or "Disable"). Related issue: Bug #511578.
