# Request cancellation

`POST /v1/workloads/{id}/cancel`

## Request

- Base URL: `/` (relative, and the document was published on a file host, not at the API’s origin)
- URL: `/v1/workloads/{id}/cancel`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Returns cancel_requested. Cancellation stops the workload and schedules resource cleanup. A cancelled status does not confirm that instance termination has finished. Calling after completion is safe and does not change the terminal result.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `202`

Success

- object
  - `status` string

## Other responses

- `default`: Error. The JSON error and message fields are stable. Additional fields may provide details. Authentication, rate limits, and transient failures apply to all operations.
