Happy New Year everyone! Is there a way, from within an active Flow, to know whether the flow was triggered by cron vs Quick run vs Run?

Not really unless you know the interval you scheduled at because the Quick Run just creates a schedule with “scheduled_start_time” = “now”

there is an `auto_scheduled` flag set to True when the flow runs on schedule:
```query = """ 
query($id: uuid!) {
  flow_run(where: {id: {_eq: $id} }) {
    id
    auto_scheduled
  }
}
"""
client.graphql(query=query, variables=dict(id=prefect.context["flow_run_id"]))```

is this available within the flow context?

It’s not so I think you would have to query it
