Being in the flow and knowing when to stop

The perfect mental state to be in, being in "the flow", you're writing code, and it's flowing out.

I've been working on a project that has me very motivated, hence I've had days and hours of being in the flow, there's one caveat that I started noticing, and that is that I don't know where to stop.

If you're coding from point A to B, it's all going fine, and suddenly you're at point D, but it wasn't planned for, I feel like it has become a dangerous trap, the only things stopping me is a difficult feature, or getting stuck in a hurried state, both of which leave me with an unsatisfied feeling, while at the same time I did more then I could have imagined.

Have you been in a situation like that? Glad to hear your stories!
