Calls for a fork were driven mainly by technical considerations on how to scale the blockchain. Each transaction approximately on the bitcoin blockchain takes up 500 bytes. Due to the current block size of 1MB, bitcoin’s blockchain is only capable of handling a very limited number of transactions every ten minutes.
Because of this, transaction confirmations take longer especially when there is a large volume of requests. Transactions have grown since the past year. In addition, transaction fees paid to miners are increasing due to these limitations. These, as some businesses believe, stymie adoption for use cases that demand speed.
To address these, the SegWit2x solution sought to implement two key rules into the bitcoin blockchain – 1) Segregated Witness or SegWit which removes signature data from transactions and 2) the doubling in the blockchain’s block size from 1MB to 2MB. These rules are meant to allow for more transactions to be stored within each block.

What was the reason behind canceling the fork? It seems that increasing the blocksize would have helped with scalability.
thank you for commenting but don't know sorry about that.
