You can only cancel Broadcasts that are `queued` or `scheduled`. When you cancel a Broadcast, here’s what happens based on its status:

- `scheduled` → `draft`: no emails are sent. You can update the Broadcast and reschedule it to be sent.
- `queued` → `canceled`: emails that have already been sent are not affected, but any emails still in the queue will no longer be sent.
