Hi all, are there any utilities to determine how many tasks were charged for a given flow run? (Using Prefect Cloud)

Not exactly. We don’t have these kind of tools, but I think if you have questions on billing, sales could help with that more at

Hey @Kevin Kho, thanks for the quick response. (a) would a utility for this be viable? (b) would sales be able to breakdown costs or task usage per flow?

I don’t know if they can on an individual Flow. The utility for a full tenant billing is on the backlog because some users who migrate from Server to Cloud want a cost estimate, but it hasn’t been a high priority ticket. On the individual Flow, you could have a script that counts the number of successful tasks and then filters the ones with duration above 1 second.

Ok, good to know - thanks!

I gave this a shot. It’s a bit tricky. How many tasks are you expecting on that Flow? I’m guessing you’re asking because there are a lot of tasks right?

Not that many tasks actually, it's rather the number of flows runs. I ended up writing some utility functions to query all task runs matching a flow run name pattern and subset that to determine the #/% of tasks charged. The context here is that I'm trying to estimate the task usage + flow efficiency for backfilling X years of data

Ah I see what you mean. I think we’re not focused on exposing such a utility at the moment because the focus is on 2.0 and the billing model there will be different
