There are a number of reasons the fruit growth may have appeared to stall, but you are also impatient, In perfection conditions it takes 3-4months, so in your conditions as cooler weather is coming, it could be longer. Leave on as long as possible, but if a frost is coming, harvest immediately, they will still ripen almost no matter what size they get to be.

Do not remove any pups at this point, it would be detrimental to the plant and will not help anything.
