I’m still running into a lot of issues with async flows — raised this issue 10 days ago specifically related to subflows - but having massively stripped down the amount I’m using prefect (basically just using it to run the

main

function - with everything else being plain async python) and i’m still getting random hangs — and when I kill the script, it seems (as best as I can tell), that the

KeyboardInterrupt

gets caught somewhere within the prefect codebase. what is curious is that when I dropped the top-level

@flow

altogether and just ran as a plain python script, it hasn’t stalled yet (will update if it does). is it possible that there’s something going on with longer-running (5min+) async flows that’s causing them to hang at some point? I thought maybe it was to do with hitting the logging rate limit but by removing all of the task decorators I’ve managed to limit the overall prefect calls significantly. I’m racking my brain at this point. anyone have any experience with long-running async programs? are there other factors that could be causing random hangs?

Can you share the keyboard interrupt traceback?

Hey @Chris Goddard I've noticed the same issue when using docker container infra on a small enough prefect agent, maybe this thread will give you more context: https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1683203799355429?thread_ts=1683203799.355429&cid=CL09KU1K7
