Travis CI’s Auto Cancellation feature can really help to save resources on CI cluster when a user is keep committing or changing something especially on GitHub web gui since they can’t work on multiple fine at a single time, is it possible to request this feature on Drone? Thanks!

Great idea, can you create an issue in the tracker with a detailed description of how each flag behaves? Thanks!

@bradrydzewski sorry to bring up such an old thread, but did anything ever come of this feature? The linked github issue is no longer available!

@microadam it looks like we don’t expose the options in the user interface yet (we should) but you can configure a repository to auto-cancel push or pull request pipelines that are pending in-queue using the command line tools (see relevant flags below). Note that we do not auto-cancel running builds; only pending builds that have not yet started.
