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.
