Lightroom is stuck syncing 1,500 RAW files for over 16 hours. The files are not editable, and the app is unresponsive. How can I pause the sync or prioritize local editing?

Question

"Hi everyone, I’m new to Lightroom. I recently imported about 1,500 CR2 (RAW) images, and it’s been over 16 hours, but the app seems stuck. None of the images are editable, and they all show a blue 'syncing' icon (as seen in the screenshot attached). My internet connection is fine. Is this normal? How can I stop the syncing or prioritize a few images so I can start editing?
