I submitted the code to the main branch and it triggered the CircleCI Pipeline normally. After clicking hold approve, I cannot cancel the pipeline. Can anyone tell me how to cancel it? I clicked the ‘Cancel Workflow’ interface in the upper right corner and it returned success, but the pipeline is still running and the workflow after hold approve is not triggered ---

If you try clicking the “cancel job” buttons from each job, does that do anything? ---

@sebastian-lerner yes, I tried to cancel other jobs and deploy the same CircleCI Pipeline to cancel the previous one, but it didn’t work. Other Pipelines can operate normally without any problems. Sorry I can’t upload pictures because I’m a new user. ---

I opened the console and observed that the cancel endpoint(`https://circleci.com/api/v2/workflow/00c9aeb7-768f-461c-a7b6-17630a045b6c/cancel`) returned `202 Accepted`, but there was no change on the page. ---

Can you send me a screen recording of the behavior to [sebastian@circleci.com](mailto:sebastian@circleci.com) please? That’ll help me when I talk to the relevant team at CircleCI ---
