Is there a reason that some flows end up stuck in the running state? I’m assuming this has to do with some error handling somewhere but is this a known issue? Most of our runs are launched from laptops talking to a remote prefect server. Is there something that we should be doing to prevent this from happening? This results in a lot of confusion for our users so any ideas/suggestions would be helpful here.

06/06/2023, 5:30 PMHey Abhinav, thanks for posting this. I'd recommend checking a few things to see what could be the reason for the flow runs getting stuck in a state of `Running`:
• Agent logs
• Flow run logs
• Workqueue health

1. Flow still in "Running" state when agent is down: This issue discusses a flow that remains in the running state even after the agent's process is stopped.
2. Flows with "Crashed" subflows that exceed flow timeout stuck in "Running" state: This issue describes a situation where a parent flow remains in the running state even after its subflow has crashed and the flow timeout has been exceeded.
