# Stop Connector Job

> Cancel a running extract job. The row is terminalized as `stopped` first
(so the run is dead even if the connector is offline or never acks), then a
`StopJob` command aborts the connector-side task best-effort. Idempotent:
stopping an already-terminal job returns its current state.
