How to cancel PrintTask in JS API 4

Question

Is it possible to cancel a PrintTask. I don't see any cancelJob() method in the API documentaion. I see a cancelJob() in the Geoprocessor methods. I was wondering if there is something like that for the PrintTask. Would be helpful. Users sometimes submit large maps on accident and have to wait a few minuets for the task to end.

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks,

I will try to whip something up.

It's just that you have to change the setting to Asynchronous on the server side. In the manager setting for the service. So I will have to try and figure that out. Thanks for all the help so far!

Do you have a codepen/jsbin showing the issue?  Maybe make a copy of mine and modify it so we can experience the issue described?  The concept for the shared code is to provide a UX that allows the user to cancel and continue using the app regardless of if/when the print calls themselves get canceled, but this might not be what you're after.

Wow I appreciate the codepen! I see what you're doing.

Nice, It works on Synchronous but I have this on Asynchronous. I tried to switch it to Synchronous but it times out after 60 seconds. Even though I change the time limit from 60seconds to 120 seconds. Weird.

Is there a way I can do this with Asynchronous. It's weird. It does work on Asynchronous but it still goes through and keeps fetching until the last one and then it cancels it.
