Elevated Error Rates - Prefect Cloud Status

Prefect Cloud occasionally undergoes routine scheduled maintenance, which results in delayed work during this window. Prefect strives to publish upcoming maintenance events on this page at least 7 days in advance.

Identified

We are investigating an issue causing intermittent errors when loading flow run lists and details in the UI and API. Other Prefect Cloud functionality - including flow run execution, scheduling, and task orchestration - is not affected, and your workflows continue to run normally.

Affected requests may return a 503 error and can be retried. Our engineering team has identified the source and is actively working on remediation. We will provide another update shortly.
