Delete ECS Capacity Provider

Question

Hi all, i want to delete an old capacity provider, but it status is "update in progress" at least since last week. Anyone know if is it possible to interrupt that update? And, in case, how to do so?

here is what i try:
aws ecs delete-capacity-provider --capacity-provider 
An error occurred (UpdateInProgressException) when calling the DeleteCapacityProvider operation: The capacity provider could not be deleted because a previous update is processing. Try again later.

i also list all services to check if it is still in use, but no one is using that capacity provider.
regards

Ensure there are no ongoing updates or related ECS tasks that might be using the capacity provider. Sometimes, updates might be stuck due to issues with the underlying infrastructure or service.
```
aws ecs describe-capacity-providers --capacity-providers 
```

Stop All ECS Services and Tasks Using the Capacity Provider. Ensure that there are no tasks or services indirectly tied to the capacity provider.
```
aws ecs list-tasks --cluster  --query 'taskArns[]'
aws ecs list-services --cluster  --query 'serviceArns[]'

```

If the above steps do not work, contact AWS Support. This might be necessary if the capacity provider is stuck in an inconsistent state that cannot be resolved through regular API calls.
