# cancel

`fun cancel(timerId: `[`GleanTimerId`](../../mozilla.components.service.glean.timing/-glean-timer-id.md)`?): `[`Unit`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) [(source)](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/blob/master/components/service/glean/src/main/java/mozilla/components/service/glean/private/TimingDistributionMetricType.kt#L80)

Abort a previous [start](start.md) call. No error is recorded if no [start](start.md) was called.

### Parameters

`timerId` - The [GleanTimerId](../../mozilla.components.service.glean.timing/-glean-timer-id.md) to associate with this timing. This allows
for concurrent timing of events associated with different ids to the
same timing distribution metric.
