Hey team - is there a way to have local flow runs NOT show up in the UI on prefect cloud? We are doing a lot of testing and there are a crazy amount of flows which are showing up in our console. Also, at times when we close the debugger (spins up docker container with prefect in it) or even running with virtual env, the flow run on the UI shows running still and does not exit. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

For question #1, one way might just be to create a profile for local runs by running

prefect profile create local

and then

prefect profile use local

. The downside is that if your testing on blocks saved in Prefect Cloud, they won't work. My guess with the debugger shutdown is that it's terminating the container without giving the flow a chance to shut down cleanly. If the Prefect engine can't stop the flow cleanly and make the API call to update the flow state to crashed/cancelled, the bank end won't know if the flow crashed or is just a long-running flow that hasn't completed yet.
