It seems in special cases when CodeQL autobuild fails it can reach the state where it's just waiting for Github to kill the job. This can be few hours.
Can you make the autobuild fail on failure, instead of hanging forever?
Here in this example it failed in few seconds but then was Cancelled 2 hours later by Github.
