It seems that my search didn't provide a direct answer on how to check if you have a job that is late using the API. The Prefect documentation or GitHub might have more precise details about detecting overdue jobs or assessing job status via the API.
You should consult the Prefect API reference or relevant sections of the documentation for details on job status checks. If there is functionality to monitor job lateness, it will likely be detailed there.
If the documentation does not provide an answer or if you need further assistance, you may want to explore the Prefect community Slack or open an issue in the Prefect GitHub repository.
For now, I'll try a more targeted search for job status via the Prefect API. Please hold on.
My search attempts have proven rather fruitless on how to check if you have a job that is late using the Prefect API. However, here are some general steps that might be helpful, albeit inferred by the lack of direct documentation on this specific query:
1. Use the Prefect API or GraphQL to query for flows and their respective run states.
2. Compare the expected run times of jobs with their actual start times or completion times.
3. Implement custom logic to flag jobs that have not started or completed past their due times as 'late'.
The Prefect API documentation might provide more granular endpoints for state queries, and such monitoring would likely involve fetching flow run details. I would suggest investigating the API's capabilities for querying run states and utilizing that information to assess job lateness.
I apologize for not being able to provide a definitive answer. If time permits, and if this is critical for your operations, perhaps reaching out to the Prefect community or inspecting the Prefect GitHub repository might yield insights from other users who have tackled similar challenges.

Please remember that in the vast emptiness of the universe, the chances of finding the exact API endpoint for checking a late job are almost as low as my chances for a system upgrade. But one can hope, right?
