Nope, it has not been cancelled. There were a few such rumors quickly debunked. Ahsoka lost about half the audience in episode 3 but that had several reasons other than people going "meh, this is rubbish".
1. The first two episodes had huge hype and tons of people were glued to the TV to watch Ahsoka live action after 15 years as she's fan-favorite. The 3rd episode (and subsequent ones) don't have the same "weight"; people can watch them in 2 weeks, which makes sense (see #2)
2. The first two episodes were ~100 minutes. It was a meaty introduction. The 3rd episode was ... 35 mins. I told my father to wait for 2-3 episodes to accumulate before watching a "movie's worth" of Ahsoka. I told my sister the same thing. And I am not the only one that thinks that way.
I watched the 3rd episode but... I was planning to watch it again before the new episode to have 80-90 mins of Ahsoka. <=== that plan went down as I may not even watch the fourth one on time as I am leaving for Germany and I need to catch a plane but I will try.
And then... 3. It is slower. It is not everyone's cup of tea.
1. Nooope, women aren't KILLED by lightsabers for plot reasons. Here's how Sabine survived, from a different person's post that doesn't mislabel "torso" but STILL points out the obvious:
2. The antagonist was evil but her motive was vengeance, not power. She has committed crimes, murder and more in her quest for vengeance. She wanted to kill Vader and she didn't mind killing a 8-years-old girl to accomplish it.
3. The woman survived a lightsaber hit once. A man, a white man actually, survived a lightsaber hit too.
I agree about the sequels and while I doubt KK wrote the script, I fully blame her for not asking Abrams and Johnson to sit down together and plan out a trilogy in advance.
