Does cancelling a workflow manually not update the status of the workflow?

Question

Body

Im using the github api to pull a latest workflow object to check for failures. Id like to ignore cancelled workflows.

According to the docs, cancelled is an available status on a workflow, but im seeing workflows contain a status of completed even though i cancelled that workflow manually in the UI:

In the api response for the workflow in question, I see this info regarding the status/completion of the workflow:
'status': 'completed', 'conclusion': 'failure',

but in the action's run page in the UI, it says it was cancelled:

Im unsure if this is a bug or im just missing something obvious here.
