I have noticed something recently and not sure what it means.
I try to stay in Run View to be aware of errors and Problem Jobs. The progress pane is in the lower right and has a Time Elapsed column.
Every day or two there is a flow element with a long time duration. Several hours or even more. If I send a job through the flow containing the element, it processes fine. But, if I try to stop the flow, it never stops. The flow icon has a red X, the canvas remains gray, it never deactivates.
Has anyone else seen this? I am running fall 2024, M1 Mac with OS 14.7.4

Edit: I should have mentioned. When I notice the long duration, the flow has no active jobs. Nothing will be processing - it's not trying to finish a task or anything like that. For example, the element with the log duration is often a hot folder, and nothing is in it. If I drop a brand new job into the flow, it will go through just fine, and even pass through the affected element with no issue. It's just when I try to deactivate the flow - Switch hangs up, cannot stop the flow.

A restart of Switch temporarily fixed it

Have you tried manually refreshing the flow or restarting Switch?

I did not mention - if I stop Switch server and then relaunch, yes it clears up the problem. But it doesn't explain why it happened. I try to restart the entire computer maybe once a week. This problem occurs more often than that. I don't want to have to do a Switch Server shutdown too often.

Refreshing (Design view, Refresh apps in upper right) does nothing.

Alternatively I can stop the Switch Service process in the Mac Activity Monitor. But I'd still like to understand what causes the issue in the first place.

I created an app that stops the Switch service in off hours every two days. That might help.
