What actions does the API perform when receiving a request interruption signal?

Answer from AI
When receiving a request interruption signal (e.g., via CancellationToken in C#), the API performs the following actions:
- Checks the cancellation token state to determine if the request was canceled.
- If cancellation is requested, throws an OperationCanceledException or terminates the asynchronous operation.
- Releases resources associated with the request to avoid leaks.
- Allows the calling code to handle cancellation properly, such as stopping further processing or performing cleanup.
Example of using CancellationToken:
public async Task LoadDataAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
// Check for cancellation before starting
cancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
// Asynchronous operation
await SomeLongRunningOperationAsync(cancellationToken);
// Check for cancellation after operation
cancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
}
