   You are inded usign the action wrongly.
   
   The problem is that the workflow that runs from fork does not have permission to write in your repo:
   
   This is what  `Could not cancel run 527073250: [403] Resource not accessible by integration` message means (thought it is not obvious).
   
   The actual "cancel" action shoudl run in a separate worklfow (of `workflow_run` type): https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#workflow_run
   
   If you start many workflows at the same time, it will be enough to start single "workflow_run" with multiple cancel-workflow steps (one per-workflow).
   
   I think also you misuderstand how allDuplicates action works. It does not kill "one branch" duplicates" - it is far more aggressive, It kills ALL duplicates in ALL branches for a given workflow. 
   
   I can - tomorrow- draft a PR fixing your setup if you would like my help with that :)
