Prefect Community

Hi.
1. Is it possible to specify timeout for wait_for_flow_run task?
2. Is it possible to use prefect.Client to cancel Prefect flows by name?

#1 Try:
```wait_for_flow_run(task_args=dict(timeout=3600))```
# 2 Not directly, but you can retrieve the flow run ID from the prefect context and use it to cancel the flow run. Also: you can't cancel flows, only flow runs, and for that, you need the flow run ID

Can you describe your use case more?

We use ECS and sometime using create_flow_run tasks just hangs in submitted state, we would like to have some cleaning at the start of next run.

So your flow runs are stuck in a submitted state? This would indicate issue with the execution layer

You can also try
```wait_for_flow_run.timeout = ...```

Is it possible to filter by jsonb field when using graphql?

I would like to filter by type field in this jsonb

```query {
            flow_run(where: 
              { 
                name: { _like: "pattern.%" }, 
                state: { _eq: "Submitted"}
              }
            ) {
                id,
    						name,
    						state,
    						created
        }
    }```

I wanted to list submitted runs and when they started

I was trying to filter by jsonb field, but then found state field

but would be great to understand - is it possible to filter by jsonb field?

Maybe with _contains but I don’t think so. I may be wrong though
