Prefect Community

Hi there! I hope today's AWS outages have not been too stressful for the team. Due to issues in us-east-1, my prefect agents are down, and a number of flows were marked as "late". I canceled several of them manually, and then clicked "Clear late runs" in the UI. Can you clarify what this actually does?

To be slightly more specific, I can see 3 runs I manually canceled - they are gray, with the status "Cancelled". However, "Clear late runs" has disappeared the remaining 20 or so runs that were late when I clicked it. Are they simply deleted rather than cancelled? Thanks!

This is the first mention here today on the outage. It deletes them as you can find <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/ui/blob/master/src/components/SystemActions/ClearLate.vue#L31-L61|here>

It maps the delete_flow_run mutation over them

great, thanks! perhaps i will write my own mutation to cancel in batches, although I don't see needing to do this often.

And yes, I was surprised to see nobody else mention the outage. I guess everyone here has a resilient infrastructure, which is great!
