How do I see the actual actions that are scheduled for a Rule? I can see there are 3 actions scheduled in the log:
And this is from the Rule:
Is there a way to see what is going to happen and the devices those actions correspond to?

Not from here. Your best bet is to enable logging for the rule if what is happening is not all apparent from your actions, then those would provide more clues. (There's normally also no reason to care about these as it is for internal use by RM to do what you've configured, though it can be useful if you are debugging with the author.)
That particular job would only come from a "Cancel Delayed Actions," I believe, FWIW (EDIT: I meant something that could be canceled by one--what that action does, not schedules anything itself)
Actually, it comes from any Delay on an action that has Cancelable selected for the delay. What happens when the scheduled job runs, is that the delayed action runs, whatever it was.
Yes, these are switches that get turned on or off with a delay, and can be cancelled. I can figure out which devices and which actions if I open the rule, but then clicking Done will unschedule everything. So I was looking for another way to know what's what to possibly unschedule one action.
If not possible, it's ok.
So don't click Done. Just navigate away. Logs are your friend to make sense of Scheduled Jobs.
That doesn't mess up Rules? There are plenty of warnings not to navigate back when editing a rule, and after 4+ years, still afraid to just navigate away, even if nothing was edited. Good to know I can navigate away.
Unfortunately, in this case, only triggers were already logged. Hopefully this situation will rarely or never happen again. It was a mature rule, so it's been running fine for a long time, and out of the blue, daughter asked me to skip something in her sleep routine for tonight.
Oh, well, she'll manage! And next time, no requests once the routine has started!
