1. What is your feature/integration request? Enabling a cancel flow button, the flow has already partially failed but has been refreshing for 10 minutes.
2. What problem would this feature/integration solve? Not take so long to refresh when the flow is clearly not going to work.
3. How do you solve/workaround this problem today? Wait for it to time out which is such a waste of time.

I still have not found a way to cancel this and the flow has been going for 45 minutes. 45 minutes that I have been unable to do anything.

Since I cannot update my flow used this time to see if this has been requested before and it has since 2020. Is there anyway that this could be prioritized? Even a after a certain amount of time it should be considered timed out and the flow should cancel itself… something.

Hi @Jailynn_Robinson Thanks for your feature request. This is definitely on our radar and while I don’t have an exact timeline for release yet, we hope to make this available to customers at some point.

In the meantime, note that Steps have a 60-minute timeout and Flows have a three-hour timeout. If your Flow is running but you’d like to change something and continue working on it, you can create a draft version of your Flow to continue making process.

If you’re still blocked, you can email a link of your Flow to [help@parabola.io](mailto:help@parabola.io) and we may be able to cancel it on our end.
