`DELETE https://api.border.bot/v1/bulk/runs`

Requires an API key (`Authorization: Bearer bb_live_…`).

Stops a run after the chunk it is working on. Items already done stay done (and charged).

API key scope: `bulk`.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | yes |  |

## Responses

- `200`: The run, cancelled. (`BulkRunResponse`)
- `400`: Invalid input (`invalid_input`). (`Error`)
- `401`: Missing, invalid, revoked or expired API key (`unauthorized`). (`Error`)
- `403`: The API key doesn’t have the `bulk` scope (`forbidden`, `details.reason: "missing_scope"`). (`Error`)
- `429`: Rate limited (`rate_limited`). Retry after `Retry-After` seconds; `RateLimit` says which limit was hit (`r=0`, `t` seconds until its window ends) and `RateLimit-Policy` its quota. (`Error`)
- `500`: Unexpected error (`internal`). (`Error`)

curl -X DELETE 'https://api.border.bot/v1/bulk/runs' \
