Can one cancel after check in (but before departure) and still be able to use the residual on the ticket after change fees?

yes, you can (though they’ll cancel you’re checkin first, since you can’t get value back if the coupon is ‘used’). Actual time limit is when the GA closes the flight at the gate without you onboard - that can vary and could be a little earlier than actual departure, or possibly a little afte the aircraft actually departs, as well.
