(I'm not a native English speaker) I thought it would convey the idea
that the user wants to unplug/remove the device soon. However, I don't
mind changing it to something else.

Saving changes seems to be pretty unclear to me. Maybe we can stick to
'Writing pending data'?

complete."
That didn't change, right?
Thanks,
