This included changing my password and a method involving removing some text in the FFXIV.cfg file (which I restored since that didn’t work).

If you need to just close the game it seems that should be safe, but it appears that won’t cancel the transfer. It appears we are stuck in the transfer and cannot cancel it. If anyone finds a solution that works please share!
Thank you for sharing your experiences and the things that you have tried so far! Fingers crossed for a resolution as well!
