Force cancel a workflow run

POST

/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/force-cancel

Cancels a workflow run and bypasses conditions that would otherwise cause a workflow execution to continue, such as an always() condition on a job. You should only use this endpoint to cancel a workflow run when the workflow run is not responding to POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/cancel.

OAuth tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the repo scope to use this endpoint.
