Hello: I started exporting a 1.43 gb file using the tar.gz option with download link; it has been running for 5 hours. I would like to cancel it and re-start, but I don’t see that option. Do I have to just let it time-out? Thanks.

Workaround: duplicate the history. Delete the frozen history. Download the duplicate.
