15+ hour hang - File Lost?

I was working on a project with a lot of blends and consistently moving the timeline to adjust extrude lengths to get everything to blend properly. Fusion was painfully slow so I switched to offline and started doing less with each blend operation adding more features to the timeline. Down the time line there was some boolean adds, a mirror, another boolean add and finally a scaling operation. Everything was working well until I moved the timeline to the end. Fusion was hanging when I went home yesterday. Now Fusion has been hanging for 15+ hours. When I turned my monitor on today this is what I see:

Here is what is going on with Resource Monitor:

What should I do, continue to wait, force quit?

I checked Fusion Team, there is an early save before I went offline. Where are the files saved when in offline mode?

I finally pulled the plug. I am amazed at the outcome; I expected the worst and got perfection! ZERO DATA LOSS!

My sincere gratitude and highest praise to the Fusion 360 development team!!! Thank you for creating such robust software that it can recover so elegantly. Amazing!

@TrippyLighting No, unfortunately I can't share it publicly.
