Hi @nkbai thank you for creating this issue! I think this is a common misunderstanding.

In Asynq, cancel operation is applicable to only active tasks. It cancels currently processed tasks.
For pending, scheduled, retry tasks, you can either delete or archive task
Example:

# delete task
$ asynq task delete --queue=default --id=99f712c3-37c0-493c-b121-56e8511765f4

# archive task
$ asynq task archive --queue=default --id=99f712c3-37c0-493c-b121-56e8511765f4

Let me know if you have more questions :)
