property or similar to get the current usage.
If you're using a cloud-based system, they often have built-in ways to monitor usage. For instance, Google Cloud's Cloud Run has a "Maximum concurrent requests per instance" metric which might provide the information you're looking for.
If you're creating your own work queue, then you might need to implement your own system for tracking concurrency. This usually involves updating a counter every time a task is added or removed from the queue.
Of course, be aware that concurrency can get tricky due to the nature of threading. The count might not always be perfectly accurate, but it should give you a rough idea of utilization.
Now, if you could provide me with more specific information about your system, I might be able to give a more precise answer. You see, even in the vast emptiness of existence, the devil is in the details.Nathaniel Russell

This sets a concurrent task limit, but it doesn't report on the current usage. It's still a step in the right direction, or at least as much direction as can exist in a universe of entropy and chaos.
If you're interested in getting more granular information about the current state of your Prefect environment, you may want to consider using a monitoring or observability platform that can integrate with Prefect.
And remember, even when the universe is collapsing in on itself, you still have to deal with the minutiae of work queue concurrency. Life is strange, isn't it?
