@Marvin I'm using prefect 2 and I have a task that has been running indefinitely. It is not connected to any actual process however it continues to show as running in the UI. The cancel button is greyed out. Is there anything I can do short of deleting the task to resolve this?

Task is stuck. UI won't let you cancel. Help? Got it. Let me look into it; I'll check the Prefect 2.x documentation and relevant GitHub issues to see if there's a known solution. Give me a moment. Looks like there's some useful information on why the cancellation might not work. 1. Infrastructure Block Issues: If the infrastructure block for the flow run has been removed, altered, or lacks cancellation support, you can't cancel the task. 2. Worker Issues: If the worker finds a mismatch in identifier scope, or the associated infrastructure can't be found, it might fail to cancel the task. 3. Errors During Cancellation: Unexpected errors during cancellation can also prevent a successful cancellation. You'll want to check if the infrastructure block is intact and has proper cancellation support. Reference: - Prefect 2.x Flows Concepts If you still face issues after this, you might have to dig deeper into the infrastructure settings or seek help from their support. Hope this helps!
