I’m using prefect locally, with the UI and a locally running agent (or two). When I start a flow from the UI, the agent picks up the new flow immediately, but there then appears to be a lag before it actually starts working on the flow. While waiting it shows “pending” in the UI and the agent CLI …

Why is there a delay before an agent starts processing a flow?

Thank you for your response! This solved the issue. Also, I see that you solved this specific problem in this release prefect 2.6.8
Thanks
