title: Google BigQuery: Stop running query
body: <p>I have run a query on Google BigQuery several hours ago, and the query is still running. I clicked "abandon", but it appears there is no way to stop a query. What can I do? Can I contact Google somehow, so they stop the query?</p>
  
  <p>I've been working on a project for a company which analyzes Google Analytics data with BigQuery, so I don't want to run them a big bill or something.
  (Maybe StackOverflow is not the right place to ask this question, but I've tried to find another place, and I couldn't. On the BigQuery support page, it is said that questions should be asked here, with the google-bigquery tag, so I'm doing that).</p>
  
  <p>I've written a query (which I don't want to paste or describe here, as someone might abuse it to block BigQuery or something, I don't know). Let's just say it includes inner joins. After I've written it, and before running it, the console message was something like "This will analyze 674KB of data", which looked OK, given the fact that the table only has 10,000 rows. I've got the same message after clicking on "abandon" query, something like "You can abandon this, but you will still be billed for 674KB of data".</p>
  
  <p>I try very hard to make sure what I do doesn't cause problems to someone, so I've actually run that query on a local PostgreSQL database (with the exact same data - 10,000 rows) as in BigQuery, and the query there finishes in a second or two.</p>
  
  <p>How can I cancel this query, and can I (the company I've worked for) be billed for something more than 674KB of data?</p>
