Question

i have 4 simple flows i ran periodically every hour and for some reason it looks like i am running more than 20k tasks are clock registrations being multiplied in some way

Kevin Kho · Answer

I m not getting what you mean by clock registrations here Could you elaborate Do you mean you added multiple <https docs prefect io core concepts schedules html clocks|clocks> to the schedule

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

no i have a dlow in which i simply create an interval clock

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

i was wondering when i bump the version and re register

Kevin Kho · Answer

Can you show me in code

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

what happens to the old version clock

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

this is passed to ```clocks = create clocks Schedule clocks=clocks ```

Kevin Kho · Answer

The clock schedule in general will not be tied to the task run count It would be tied to the Flow run count I think you could see in the dashboard if you have more flow runs than you are expecting To answer though the old version of the Flow is archived when you re register and won t be used

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

yeah but i would assume that if i have a 1 per 3 hours run for a flow

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

with about 10 tasks in each flow

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

that would mean i would have in general 4 10 task runs a day

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

not 20k so i was wondering if i have a bug and that the old clocks are still set somewhere

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

since its intervals it would be

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

4 10 deploy count

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

using prefect cloud

Koby Kilimnik · Answer

looking at the run logs it looks like i dont have that many which is weird

Kevin Kho · Answer

You can check the schedule tab of the Flow to verify but no previous Flow versions can t be run by Prefect Cloud You would get an error if it were attempted
