Description
This plugin helps store owners automatically cancel orders that remain in the “on-hold” status for too long.
It is useful for WooCommerce stores that rely on manual payment methods and want to prevent outdated on-hold orders from blocking inventory or requiring manual cleanup.
Once enabled, the plugin runs automatically using WordPress cron and requires no further action.

How It Works
The plugin checks for orders with the “on-hold” status that were created more than a specified number of days ago and cancels them automatically.
Orders are processed in small batches to ensure safe performance, even on larger stores.
