stop running query
It is not possible to stop a running query in Power BI from the user's side.
Once a query is triggered – whether by changing a filter, opening a page, or any other action – it is sent to the engine for execution and cannot be canceled midway.
Power BI does not offer a "Stop" button for queries like you would find in development tools such as SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio).The only options available for the user are:
-
If using Power BI Desktop – close the file or the application.
-
If using Power BI Service – refresh the browser tab or close it.
It’s important to understand that these actions do not actually stop the query running on the server; they only disconnect the session from the user's side.

powerbiexpert22 Well, this feature is not possible in Power BI. Once a query is triggered, it runs until completion. Users cannot stop running queries directly.
