@Ted_Wikman - It would be nice if this issues from 5+ years ago could be address:

Issues with NavMeshAgent.SetDestination Stopping Agents

It appears that whenever NavMeshAgent.SetDestination is used and pathPending=true occurs, Unity immediately stops the agent (velocity=0) and it will not move until the new path is completed. I understand that this simplifies their code, but for player and enemy movement this is not acceptable. If the player is constantly moving towards a mouse-intersection point similar to Diablo/Grim Dawn/etc, SetDestination will be called each frame and if the paths return pending, the agent will never move. S…

I believe the post above from @rubeng_1 relates to the same issue. Ideally there should be a way to continue along an existing path while a new path calculation from SetDestination() is still pending.
