Sometimes due to server time-outs or some other unknown interruptions tasks fail and or get stuck in executing for an extended period of time, resulting in subsequent task instances getting skipped over and over until the original finally succeeds or crashes. It would be nice to be able to cancel/manually interrupt the currently executing task to diagnose the problem or let the next task instance start fresh.

Hello, we are exploring the manual interruption of tasks as an enhancement request for an upcoming release.

In the meantime, a workaround is to configure the time out to be larger than the expected amount of time for the task run.  Then, if a task unexpectedly gets stuck for longer than the defined time out, it will be terminated and the next task will start fresh at it's scheduled time.
