What term is used to describe a full or break in the meter often followed by punctuation such as period semicolon colon exclamation comma dash?

A caesura is a pause or break in a line of poetry, often marked by punctuation. It can occur in the middle of a line (medial caesura) or at the end of a line (end-stopped caesura).

Caesuras help to create rhythm and emphasis in poetry, and they can also be used to create a sense of drama or suspense.
