Abort long-running queries from Metrics Explorer to reduce warehouse load and avoid unnecessary compute usage.
Prevent long-running queries from tying up warehouse resources
Avoid accidental full-dataset scans
Limit the cost impact of exploratory queries
Metrics Explorer queries can be canceled after 5 seconds when running on supported warehouse integrations (BigQuery, Databricks, Snowflake, and Athena). Query cancellation currently applies to individual charts and does not yet extend to dashboards.
Cancel Queries let you interrupt a run, refine the query, and try again immediately. This reduces unnecessary warehouse usage while keeping exploratory workflows fast and responsive.
