WorkerGlobalScope: clearTimeout() method
Available in workers
The clearTimeout() method of the WorkerGlobalScope interface cancels a timeout previously established by calling setTimeout().
If the parameter provided does not identify a previously established action, this method does nothing.

Parameters
timeoutID- : The identifier of the timeout you want to cancel. This ID was returned by the
corresponding call to
setTimeout().
- : The identifier of the timeout you want to cancel. This ID was returned by the
corresponding call to
It’s worth noting that the pool of IDs used by setTimeout() and setInterval() are shared, which means you can technically use clearTimeout() and clearInterval() interchangeably. However, for clarity, you should avoid doing so.
Return value
None (undefined).

Notes
Passing an invalid ID to clearTimeout() silently does nothing; no
exception is thrown.
