Can an already started job be aware about a cancel request about it?

Hi all, this is more a clarification request than an issue.

I'm wondering about the case when a job is started and it receives a cancel request while it is running; has the job some way to know about that?

Thank you in advance.

pg-boss will change the state of the job to cancelled if it's not completed or failed, but it will not interact with a worker awaiting a promise.

Thank you @timgit ,

So ATM the only way a running job has to know it was cancelled is to polling the state of its job record; am I right?

Yes
