Description Hyigehaor 2024-09-30 02:37:43 MDT 
I submitted a job, then suspended it using scontrol suspend jobid, and finally canceled it using scancel.

But when I used sacct to look at the start and end time of the job, I found that the end time of the job was the hang time, not the time when I actually executed the scancel command.

But the start and end times at the job step level are displayed correctly

The process is as follows:

[root@gv100 slurm]# date
Mon Sep 30 16:31:50 CST 2024
[root@gv100 slurm]# sbatch command2.slurm
Submitted batch job 1240
[root@gv100 slurm]# scontrol suspend 1240
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@gv100 slurm]# sacct -j 1240 -o jobid,state,start,end
JobID             State               Start                 End

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if it's intentional, can you explain why
