Notes

  • Jobs can only be cancelled if they are in a cancellable state (e.g., pending, submitted, starting, or running)
  • Jobs that have already completed, failed, or been previously cancelled cannot be cancelled
  • The cancellation is asynchronous - the job may take a moment to fully stop after receiving the cancellation request
