Bring your towel and join one of the fastest growing data communities. Welcome to our second-generation open source orchestration platform, a completely rethought approach to dataflow automation.

Prefect Community

Hi there! Ever since we have scheduled a flow in a higher frequency, we see a lot of "*late*" flow runs in the prefect UI. What does this status mean? It feels like late flow runs are not automatically re-running. Also, it feels like all these late flow runs are "blocking" new flow runs from running (without the concurrency limit reached). Sometimes running a deployment in the prefect UI immediately results in a *late* state flow run

late runs mean your agent did not pick up the runs, usually when the agent is not running

I’m having the same issue. I have a simple “hello world” kind of flow that runs perfectly locally but never gets run by Prefect Cloud, even though the flow run is “upcoming”.

The same happens no matter the deployments I try to run, it just goes from Scheduled to Late
