Prefect Community

Hi, is there a way to stop all running flows? If I have a bunch of running flows  that are hung, how can I stop them quickly?

Hi Richard, the latest release of prefect (0.13.0) supports cancellation of running flows, but the UI doesn't have a nice button for this yet (should be released in the next week or so hopefully). For now, calling the `cancel_flow_run` graphql route will trigger a cancellation (again, for 0.13.0 only).

Hi Richard. We just added a `cancel_flow_run` mutation which can stop your flow runs. It works best with prefect 0.13.0 or higher.

<@ULXMV9SD7> <@U011EKN35PT> do you have an example how to use this  `cancel_flow_run` mutation?

Sure - do you have access to the Interactive API in the UI?  (Server or Cloud).

```mutation {
  cancel_flow_run(input: {flow_run_id: "00000"}) {
    state
  }
}```
Your flow run id would go where 000000 is.
