Quick answer

A run stays Queued when the project is at its concurrency limit, a burst filled the line, workers are busy or Redis lost data. Cancel unneeded runs, spread schedules out or add workers.

Most likely fix: Check and cancel runs

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Check and cancel runs

    1. Open the project run history
    2. Count running flows against the limit
    3. Select unneeded queued runs and click Cancel
    Did this fix it?
  2. 2. Spread out the load

    1. Move heavy schedules off the top of the hour, for example cron 5 * * * *
    2. Send more rows per run in batch flows
    3. Add filters so flows stop early

  3. 3. Self-hosted capacity

    1. Check Platform Admin, Operations, Health, Queue Health
    2. Add workers or raise AP_DEFAULT_CONCURRENT_JOBS_LIMIT
    3. Use persistent storage for Redis
    Did this fix it?
  4. 4. Contact support if it persists

    1. Email support with the run link
    2. A run queued for a week is treated as a bug by staff
    Did this fix it?
