Right, we should have expected retry
Right, we should have expected retry functionality there correct? It appears that it was in that stuck in that
Running state. When I queried for the events for this instanceId via the GraphQL analytics API - there was only 1 ATTEMPT_START for that ID, I do not see that any retries were executed.
Even after I terminated the instance, while the workflow run changed the status to Terminated, the step status still says Running. See screenshot. Perhaps I've misconfigured something?
Thank you for your help!

@HardlyWorkin' @Matt Silverlock
Let me know if any guidance on this. We're hoping to rely on Cloudflare Workflows for a polling process, so this seemingly spurious error gives us pause.
Having some clarity here would help us greatly.

@HardlyWorkin' appreciate any guidance here 🙂
Are these still showing as running?
If the Workflow is showing as terminated - the step showing as “running” is a bug we’re fixing. The fix won’t be retroactive.
