    • Status must be: created, started, or progress
    • Cannot cancel: completed, failed, or moderated jobs
  2. Job will be marked as failed:
    • Status updated to failed
    • Error message: “Job cancelled by user”
    • Job removed from running jobs list
  3. Discord cleanup:
    • The API does not delete the Discord message
    • Message remains in your Midjourney DM (direct messages) channel
