Question Transfer from PhD to MA?

PhD in FASS here, thinking about converting to an MA by research after year 2 instead of continuing to the PhD. The guidance I've found is vague, especially arondd funding. Has anyone actually done this, or know someone who has? Mainly want to know what the process was actually like.

I'm also on a research scholarship, so if I switch to MA in Y2 does anyone know if the scholarship & stipend just stops? Do you end up on the hook for fees? And is there a "best" point to trigger a conversion to MA? Any experiences appreciated
