you will find the ride is Assigned after creation with a maximum of 80 second.
The ride will be created at less than an hour of the pickup time.
The ride will be assigned by: abc_User abcUser
Step 2: Checking The Cancellation Time
From, the ride "Details", open the "Action Log"
Check "Ticket Status" it should be Canceled, check the "Created At Date" for the time of cancelling
From, the ride "Details", open the "Ticket Status Log"
Check the "Created At" to know when the ride was created
By checking the above example you will find:
The ride was created at: 03:07:07
The ride was Cancelled at: 03:10:13
Meaning the rider was canceled after creation by 3 minutes and 5 seconds, thus the customer is eligible for refund and he didn't pass the 5 minutes mark, in the next step you need to check if the amount is refunded or not
