Never-ending flows

Describe the problem/error/question

I have a problem with a flow which executes every 2 minutes, and typically takes about 1 minute to execute. The problem is that, occasionally, I get some flows that seem to run in perpetuity.

I cannot cancel these flows due to them not being found:

What’s the best thing to do about this, and should I worry about it?

It isn’t really a problem if one execution fails because the next one will correct any missing data.

What is the error message (if any)?

Problem stopping execution - Execution not found.

Hey @JNathanson,

Welcome to the community :raised_hands:

It sounds like the workflow probably crashed, Have you treid stopping your container then starting it up again (rather than a restart) to see if that clears it up?
