I exhausted my free plan quota in the middle of a large mapped task and started getting thousands of "usage exceeded" messages. We'll obviously upgrade our plan, but that flow run won't seem to die. I've tried canceling it and manually setting its state but the "duration" continues to advance. (run ID is

Hi @Devin McCabe - if Prefect isn't able to cancel your run the easiest way to stop it would be to tear down the job/process that's running your flow, which will depend on your setup

Sorry just to check, after tearing down the container your flow is still trying to set states? 🤔

If it's just the duration still climbing in the UI that's fine, the duration will cap when the run fails its heartbeat check or enters a finished state; it's a calculated duration that is based on the run
