Hi @margaretaak,
Once validation starts, you cannot stop it. This is a process that fabric runs in the background when a dataflow is published.
If you found this helpful, consider giving some Kudos. If I answered your question or solved your problem, mark this post as the solution.
As of today, validations cannot be canceled by the user, but they do have a 10-minute timeout. If the evaluation is not completed within 10 minutes, the validation process fails.
