If you flush once and it doesn’t go down no problem, if you (or someone you know) tries to flush again no water will leave but the toilet valve tries to fill the bowl more.
So step one is to stop a potential flood of nasty water from overflowing to the floor
Sorry, I see what you mean. In this case, the stopper will stay open until the bowl reaches a certain fill limit, set by a float keeping the thing open; you’re trying to stop the bowl from filling more while it’s clogged so you have to close the valve in the tank manually.
The image shows the tank almost empty, but in reality it will probably still have enough water in there to cause a mess if you don’t stop it.
I get that. That’s a totally different scenario than “clogged toilet”.

Just shut the water off.
