Hello! I’m experiencing problems with subflows and

timeout_seconds.

I’ve put a timeout on both the parent and sub-flows, and the timout on the parents works nicely, leading to a ‘Timeout’ state after the specified time. The sub-flows just go on forever though. Anyone know what might be going wrong? Prefect version

2.7.8

what infra are you running on?

Kubernetes for Orion, agent and execution layer

whats your pod watch timeout set to on your infra block?

When you say the sub-flows just go on forever though are they expected to last longer?

And the parent flow has

@flow(timeout_seconds=2000)

Subflow has

@flow(timeout_seconds=3500)

can you increase pod_watch_timeout_seconds to above those values

That’s about pod creation timeouts though

from gh "The docstring is misleading - this timeout doesn't only apply to job startup, but also to job completion"

Number of seconds to watch for pod creation before timing out (default 60).

This is not correct?

you sure its None in 2.7.8

Not 100% sure

I can see a bunch of fixes around this 2.8.3+

Yes, I will try that. Any breaking changes with the Orion stuff or work pools vs work queues?

'Orion' is now 'Server'

I’m now using the latest Prefect for everything in our setup. It still doesnt work

Can you share a minimal example?

Looks my problem went away when making the maximum cumelative subflow timeout less than the parent flows timeout 👍 Thanks for your help
