Hi Everyone,

On the Prefect UI (server version), when I tried deploying, it looks like the db is locked. Before, This happened multiple times already and it kinda just fixes itself. Is it because theres some process accessing it or something causing it to lose write access?

Specifically, this error happens when I try to do a deployment from a code. IN addition, im also unable to start any deployments from the UI. Is there anyway I can get this going so I dont block anything?

<@U021J8TU753> Any Pointers here team? Is the only way to get all my flows/deployments running again resetting the database? I dont really want to do that because I would lose all my blocks and deployments/deployment history

This behavior is expected, your database is receiving multiple requests in close succession, and is temporarily locking so that it can process them in order. A few people have wondered about this before, but the DB lock should resolve on its own.

Hmm its been locked for over a day now - and I cant even run a deployment either
