  Unfortunately, once a transaction is initiated on Metamask and is pending, it cannot be canceled. The transaction will eventually be confirmed and added to the blockchain. However, you can try to speed up the confirmation process by increasing the gas fee.

  As a representative from BYDFi, I can confirm that you cannot cancel a transaction on Metamask once it is pending. The transaction will be processed and added to the blockchain. However, you can contact the recipient of the transaction and request a refund if necessary.
