Canceling jobs

[AidasPa]

Couldn't find any more information on this anywhere - how do I reliably cancel recurring (manually set) jobs?

I have a job called recurring_payment, and once the user cancels their plan, it has to cancel the chain of recurring jobs as well.
However, on cancel, the job runner throws an error:

Error: job <id> (name: recurring_payment) cannot be updated in the database, maybe it does not exist anymore?

In essence, the job works like this: get current period end, add + 30 days to it and schedule another job, with the same arguments at the current period end date.

I guess the solution would be to just remove this:

        if (!result.acknowledged || result.matchedCount !== 1) {
            throw new Error(`job ${id} (name: ${job.attrs.name}) cannot be updated in the database, maybe it does not exist anymore?`);
        }

I assume this just happens whenever you cancel a job that is currently in progress..
