How can we pause a task until a specified time and how to resume the same task before the timeout with some external triggers @Chris White

Given that the API manages everything from what I can tell, I suspect it’s not really possible to reliably do anything right now.

can we control a task in running flow from outside ?

I guess it depends on the flow running environment.

no , I'm trying to control a task in a running flow

Hmm not sure.

I want to trigger it from outside to move to next task in a flow

I have no idea if that’s possible I suspect it’ll be faster for Prefect to recover.

actually my problem statement is like event based, for me its like when a event will start it will have some timeout time and if the event completes before that timeout then i should move to next task

It seems the timeout issue is recovering

@Gaurav kumar we need to talk 😄 I'm not sure if you've seen our Code of Conduct, but we have only a few rules we would like you to follow. By tagging Chris and simultaneously posting the same question in #prefect-community, #prefect-server and on Discourse, you broke two of them: • Don’t tag other users - we always respond even if it takes some time. If you need SLA-based support, reach out to our Professional Services - How to get in touch with Prefect Professional Services • Don’t post the same question twice (via multiple channels) - it may be tempting to ask the same question on Slack, Discourse, via a GitHub issue, and perhaps also on StackOverflow to maximize your chances of getting support. Please, don’t do that! We track all those channels and get back to you when we are available. There is no need to post multiple times. It’s better to focus on describing your problem well and providing us with all information you have that might help solve your issue or determine the root cause of the problem. It's all fine, but for the future, it would be great if you post your questions only once and don't tag anyone - if you have some emergency situation, tag me rather than Chris 🙂

sorry for breaking your code of conduct rules, my question is still open and we can continue it on Discourse

no worries, let's continue on Discourse then 🙌

@Anna Geller Please reply on discourse , we have been stuck from long time ,https://discourse.prefect.io/t/on-task-mark-as-success-still-inner-loops-are-in-progress/833/8
