This endpoint allows you to cancel a scheduled transaction using the reference ID obtained from its creation response. The cancellation is intended to allow the interruption of incorrect or undesired payment operations before financial settlement and is irreversible, in order to preserve operational integrity and ensure full traceability for auditing purposes. Only transactions that have not yet been processed ("pending" and "in_process") can be canceled. In case of success, the request will return a response with status 204.
