Can't check transaction status

Hello! We've have a pipeline which triggers the workflow execution. We should cancel that by transactionId. That works using sdk for nodejs:

    return this.novu.events
      .cancel(transactionId)
      .then(({ data: { data } }) => data);

    return this.novu.events
      .cancel(transactionId)
      .then(({ data: { data } }) => data);

However, we can't check the status if that's really cancelled. Dashboard doesn't show the status, just saying worklow steps are pending timeouts (We have delay steps between other steps) The operation above returns false, and no reason explained why. Can we check the operation status before cancellation? E.g., if cancellation returns false, then we will check status. If status = 'cancelled' or something like that, that we'll just ignore that. Thank you in advance!

If false value is returned in response, it means that event has already been completed its execution or cancelled before. Already completed event can not be cancelled. If true value is returned in response, then it means that event execution has been cancelled successfully. Any digest or delay step with pending exection will also be cancelled.

This is a bug from our side where we don't show cancellation status in activity feed page. It is planned and will be fixed soon

So, I can be 100% sure, execution is cancelled if false value returned ?
