    I think I understand this;

    cancel -> submit the POST request and cancel -> undo this thing. maybe they shoulda just used submit & cancel or cancel & exit instead.

    To anyone who is interested in a better design: Buttons should be labeled with verb+object combinations, for instance “Cancel subscription”. Also it’s better to use less generic words that apply to the task at hand, for instance “Terminate subscription”. Here, ‘cancel’ is the right word, so this hint doesn’t apply as well here.

      I think termínate is a better term. I don’t think it would be used because some UX person would worry about associations with robot assassins and people being fired, but terminating the subscription is the best technical term.

      Canceling is preventing some future thing from happening. At best, you are cancelling a scheduled auto-renewal. But to end an ongoing thing is to terminate.

    (Or maybe on the other order, I dunno.)
