Ability to cancel module tests

I’d like the ability to cancel pending module tests that are in the READY or QUEUED states.

    Thanks again for raising this and for confirming that auto-cancellation would work for you, so I'm closing the request for now.

    Thanks for this feedback!

    You've identified a real pain point with module test capacity management, but my worry is that manual cancellation would create poor UX. The core issue isn't that users can't cancel tests - it's that they shouldn't need to.

    When you're rapidly iterating on a module, older queued tests become obsolete and just waste worker capacity. Making users manually manage this queue turns them into "human process schedulers."

    Can we please explore options that don’t put extra operational burden on you as a user? Wouldn’t auto-cancellation (default or even policy-based) work better for you? Are there any scenarios where you’d still require this level of manual control?

      Yes I think that would work. Only assumed I’d have to write a policy because for stacks this isn’t a built in feature.
