source: https://developer.mastercard.com/cross-border-services/documentation/api-ref/common1-cancel-payment-api/index.md

You can use this API to cancel a request for a transaction that is in PENDING status.
Any payment with a payment status as "Pending" and Pending Stage as "Insufficient Balance" can be cancelled.
Additionally, for cash-out and some mobile money providers, the payment with status "Pending" can be cancelled irrespective of the Pending stage of that payment.
