The configuration setting for the query governor cost limit option is lower than the cost the SQL Server optimizer estimated for the specified query. By default, the query governor cost limit option is set to 0, which allows all queries to run. However, on this instance of SQL Server an upper limit was specified by setting the option to a number greater than 0. Query plans with an anticipated cost larger than this value are not started.

By default, the query governor cost limit option is set to 0, which allows all queries to run.
