Stop a job that hasn't started grading yet. Cancelling costs nothing.

cancel_job.py

# cancel_job.py - stop a job before grading starts
#   usage: python cancel_job.py <job id>
import os
import sys
import time
from centific import PhysicalAI

client = PhysicalAI(
    api_key  = os.environ["CENTIFIC_API_KEY"],
    base_url = "https://humanoidiq-dev.centific.com",
)

job = client.qc.get(sys.argv[1])
print("before:", job.status)

job.cancel()
time.sleep(3)
print("after :", client.qc.get(job.id).status)    # read it back to be sure

How to use it

python cancel_job.py qcjob_yLrQuj9XZ2LxIBbVN6f8S2

When you can cancel

You can cancel	You can't cancel
