Hi! Great to see the enhancements of 2.7! I was wondering if you can schedule a cancellation of flow runs? That would then allow a start and stop time to be configured on the scheduling level.

Hey Sander, You can set a timeout on the flow decorator which would have the same effect as what you're trying to do?

But the you’d have some fixed running time right?

Yeah, a maximum time the flow can run for. Sorry that's what I thought you're asking for?

I’m thinking about something like start at 9am CET and stop at 4pm NY time.

Right, technically you could do it if you had a parent flow, kick off some sub flow and monitor it until some time and then cancel that flow with an api call

Hmm. Interesting. Guess that should work.

You could encode it as a timedelta? Or even a dynamic parameter in the parent flow/deployment

That should work indeed. Will try it out and see how it feels:) thanks!

We’ve also got a Cloud feature in alpha that will do this for you.

Most of the time that should work but having a timezoned start/stop I think would be best.

👍 cool idea. cc @Will Raphaelson

Thanks! Sander I’d love to chat more about this use case - if you’re interested in trying out the automations feature while its in beta, send me a dm?
