apply_filters( 'pre_clear_scheduled_hook', null|int|false|WP_Error $pre, string $hook, array $args, bool $wp_error )

Since
5.1.0, 5.7.0
Filter to override clearing a scheduled hook.

Description

Returning a non-null value will short-circuit the normal unscheduling process, causing the function to return the filtered value instead.

For plugins replacing wp-cron, return the number of events successfully unscheduled (zero if no events were registered with the hook) or false or a WP_Error if unscheduling one or more events fails.
