Good morning! Since the upgrade to 
2.0b8
we have experienced 2 things: • performance of single flows became around 2x slower (we are using the Sequential task runner) and have a lot of database operations in our tasks • Some Flows get interrupted by a 403 forbidden error and do not pick up from where they were left. Is there a way of increasing the lifetime of the token?
a
can you move the code block to the thread?
#1 We plan to release changes that will likely address that behavior due to changes in handling results and interaction with task runners - I'd suggest trying out version 2.0b9 first once released, and if the performance issue persists in 2.0b9, could you open a GitHub issue for it? #2 I can ask internally but I wonder are you logging in every time you run the flow? Can you share the flow code that caused this error and explain what setup led to it? Opening a separate GitHub issue for that might be helpful as well

Some discussion around the performance changes in https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/pull/6004
n
@Anna Geller @Zanie #1 I have installed the 2.0b10 prefect version (there are no release notes yet) today and tested the performance. Unfortunately things did not improve. I have tested the same function once with a prefect flow decorator and once without it and the performance is about 2x worse using the prefect wrapper. This is a huge problem for us as our nightly tasks do not finish in time anymore. Are you aware of this performance degrading? If so, do you have plans of improving / fixing it? Unfortunately, after having setup prefect 2.0. and setup a stable daily flow for around 2 weeks this makes us wonder if we need to find a prefect alternative or not. I would be happy to chat about your plans before making this decision. #2 we do login after every new release. Is it recommended to login before running a flow?
z
We have not changed anything related to performance in b10 so I do not expect it to have changed. Can you share the function you’re using?
I don’t have a good example to test with to improve this
n
@Zanie We have seen it change from 
2.0b7
-> 
2.0b8
. Yes I will share it in a bit
z
We added a change there that allowed us to interrupt synchronous tasks (which otherwise is not supported by Python).

sorry, I am having some trouble keeping up with the migrations to newer prefect versions and the breaking changes that come with it 😄
a
totally understandable @Nikolaus Landgraf! After the GA release, the pace of introducing breaking changes will slow down a bit so 🤞 this won't be such a problem soon
z
I’ve introduced a PR to remove interruption when we don’t need it, which should help with your performance.

An issue with a minimum reproducible example would still be really helpful though!

@Zanie thanks sounds good. We will wait for the Wednesday release until we proceed due to a similar issue as mentioned here: https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1658537137702589 Will send you the example then

thanks for your flexibility and understanding @Nikolaus Landgraf, much appreciated 🙌
