Android Central Question

This morning I was trying to locate a family member's phone and when I was trying to stop the sound my phone glitched and I accidentally hit "ENABLE Lock&Erase" in ADM (Find My Device)". Nothing seems to have happened because I immediately checked the device right after but I'm concerned. We all have the Note8 and I've been reading that if the device is connected to the mobile network all data will be erased. Currently all of our phone are connected to the 4G mobile data network. So is there a way I can "unpress" the button, so to speak, before any damage is done? I'm going to feel terrible if she loses everything because of my fat fingers.
