Prefect Community

Not sure if this is the right place, but I am running a prefect flow in a VScode python file and it will not stop running. Is there any sort of functionality like a flow.cancel() to stop this from running forever?

Hey <@U036ZRH4EAW>, you should be able to stop the flow run by pressing *Ctrl + C on your keyboard in the terminal the flow is running*

I swear I tried this, but it appears to have stopped haha

So looks like it is still running. I thought that it had stopped last night, cause this morning the tasks weren't creating more rows of data, but now I checked again and there is a ton. So I guess it didn't stop actually.

I was using vscode interactive window and so perhaps that is why the terminal ctrl + c didn't work. And the interactive window is using a different terminal somehow?

<@U045H93V5U3> are you running this flow just locally, via the oprion API or cloud?

I was running it locally, but I was able to fix it by pulling up `top` in my terminal and kill my Python PID
