Hi, I am using a KubeRay cluster that auto scales the number of worker pods. If I start a job that increases the number of workers, but the pods is queued (e.g. volcaono queue), it is moved to the pending state. The `ray stop` command doesnt stop the job and waits for the worker to be started. I expected it to a) list the job as stopped (e.g. in the dashboard) and b) remove the auto scaled worker pod from the volcano queue.

```auto
ray job stop 09e5f53e0dd8386a
Job submission server address: <http://my-ingress-node>
Attempting to stop job '09e5f53e0dd8386a'
Waiting for job '09e5f53e0dd8386a' to exit (disable with --no-wait):
Job has not exited yet. Status: PENDING

```
