In our specific case, we’re using SauceLabs’ sauce connect binary to create a tunnel to CircleCI for selenium testing our feature specs. We pay per tunnel. When a build starts a tunnel per parallel process is opened, but if that build is cancelled, the test/post command to kill the tunnel doesn’t run and the tunnel just stays open until …

Are resource leaks unavoidable for canceled builds?

Workflows/Jobs/etc… are stateful processes that can have any number of open resources.
