Use this endpoint to cancel a pending update. This happens when a Subscription is updated using the end of cycle option for the schedule_change_at parameter.
Example
A Subscription is to be charged on the 1st of every month. It was charged on January 01, 2021. On January 15, 2021, it was updated using the end of cycle option for the schedule_change_at parameter. In this case, the update goes live after the Subscription is charged on February 01, 2021. Such updates are said to be scheduled updates and can be cancelled using this API.

Handy TipsYou can only cancel a pending update for a subscription. You cannot cancel an update once it is live.
