Cancelling a Bulk Import
If you need to cancel an import job early for any reason, you may do so either:

Any in-progress import can be cancelled from the Project Imports page by selecting the "Cancel Import" option in the overflow menu on the import job line.
Cancelling an import job may take some time depending upon the size of the import job. This is primarily because the import process is highly parallelized and uses multiple concurrent processes that coordinate via a task scheduling system.
After selecting "Cancel Import", the import job will first enter the "Cancelling" state, which indicates the system is currently working to cancel all pending tasks and finish all in-progress tasks that are part of the import job.
After all tasks are either completed or cancelled and all further processing is terminated, the import job will transition to the "Cancelled" state.
