You could use jobs:eval(query…), where you provide the query and you get back an Id for the job. You can then cancel the job using jobs:stop(id)

Subject: [basex-talk] Cancelling long running query

Hello there,

I have had a look in the documentation and was wondering, is it possible to cancel a query once it has been submitted using ClientQuery/ClientSession?

Would calling close() on ClientQuery do that?
