Techniques discussed herein can facilitate autonomous user equipment beam failure recovery abort aspects. One example aspect is a baseband processor configured to perform operations including: establishing a connection with a downlink (DL) beam; detecting a beam failure of the DL beam; in response to the beam failure, executing at least one of: a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure or a candidate beam detection (CBD) procedure; detecting a recovery abort condition while executing the at least one of: the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure; aborting the at least one of: the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure, in response to detecting that the recovery abort condition is satisfied; and maintaining the connection with the DL beam.
