**How do I cancel a task?**  
Open the Task Card from the feed or Tasks tab, click the … menu in the header, and click Cancel task. Or just tell Astra in chat — "Cancel the launch email task" — she confirms and the card flips to Cancelled within seconds.

**What happens to the work already done?**  
Any draft, screenshot, or partial asset stays attached to the card so you can salvage it. The card stays in the feed (greyed) so you can scroll back to what was done.

**Do I get a refund?**  
No. Credits already spent on the task are not refunded. If the task is 90% done, let it finish.
