I just had some orders that got partially filled. How long does it take to get the escrow balance back after cancel?

It has been a lot of blocks since it was canceled successfully.

If you look at one of Counterparty blockchain explorers (eg. [http://blockscan.com/order?f=0](http://blockscan.com/order?f=0)), you should see the expiration time (how many blockchain blocks are left).

Maybe (someone should verify) it’s not possible to cancel partially filled orders…  
That would be a bug. If you could duplicate on testnet, I’ll submit a bug report for you.
