Cancel a request

POST 
/approval/:id/cancel

Cancels a request. Only a request that is pending, or that is approved (approved or auto_approved) and hasn't started executing, can be cancelled. A request that stayed executing for more than 60 seconds can be cancelled too.

Cancelling a request that belongs to a checklist also cancels its checklist run, and cancelling a group approval (for example, a deployment group) cancels the pending approvals that belong to it.

The response carries the request after the cancellation: its status is cancelled and its execution_status tells whether the cancel callback ran (success) or failed (failed).
