# Cancel a Transfer

> Use this endpoint to cancel a transfer that has not yet been submitted for processing. Only transfers in CREATED or PENDING status can be cancelled. A `TED_OUT` that returns a TED IN cannot be cancelled in any status. Cancelling a transfer releases the held funds in Midaz and sets the status to CANCELLED. Calling cancel on an already-cancelled transfer returns success.

This endpoint takes no request body — the transfer is identified by the path parameter alone.

            BTF-0016: a request under this `X-Idempotency` key still holds the
            in-flight lease, because it is still running or because it already
            ended 5xx and recorded no outcome. `Retry-After` carries a poll
            interval, not the lease. While the first request is still running,
            resend the identical request after that interval; the answer replays
            from the first request as soon as it finishes. If an earlier request
            under this key answered 5xx without `X-Idempotency-Fenced: true`, no
            answer will ever be served from it: stop resending, read the
            resource this route acts on, and send the work under a new
            `X-Idempotency` key only if it did not land. The detail also names
            the 15-minute bound after which the lease lapses and a resend runs
            the work a second time; a poll still unanswered by then ends the
            same way.


            BTF-0018: the request under this `X-Idempotency` key already
            completed, and its response was too large to store for replay. Read
            the resource. Do not resend under a new key, because that runs the
            work a second time. This answer carries no `Retry-After`, because no
            wait produces the missing receipt.

            BTF-0014: an earlier request under this `X-Idempotency` key answered
            5xx, so the key is fenced for the retention window. Read the
            resource and, only if the work did not land, send the identical
            request under a new key.


            BTF-0015: this service cannot read the idempotency record under this
            key. The remedy is the same.


            BTF-0017: this `X-Idempotency` key was already used for a different
            request. A repeat must be byte-identical, and a new request needs
            its own new key. BTF-0017 is decided before BTF-0014, so a fenced
            key resent with a changed body gets BTF-0017.

                Rate-limit responses use the dedicated `BTF-0429` code with the
                `rate_limit` category. Clients should back off using the HTTP
                status `429` and the `Retry-After` header.
  headers:
    RetryAfter:
      description: The number of seconds to wait before you send the request again.

        type: integer
    XIdempotencyFenced:
      description: >-
        `true` when this 5xx fenced the `X-Idempotency` key, so a resend is
        refused with 422 BTF-0014. `false` when the fence write itself failed
        and only the in-flight lease holds the key, so a resend is refused with
        409 BTF-0016 until that lease lapses. On a 503 BTF-0019, `false` means
        the handler succeeded and both its receipt and its fence were lost.


        The header is absent when nothing fenced the key. On a 500 raised by a
        panic, the protection of the key is unknown: read the resource and
        reconcile before you resend. On a 503 BTF-9000 answered while the
        idempotency store was down before the handler, nothing ran: send the
        same request again under the same key.
