Does "Cancel Rule Timers" work on paused rules?

If a rule is was paused while it was running with a timer on-going, and you want to cancel that timer, do you first need to unpause the rule in order to cancel the timers, or can you cancel the timers first and then resume the rule in clean state?

It looks like this will be skipped if the rule is paused (but testing it yourself to see for sure -- enable all logging and you should see what's happening -- might be best).
