Stopping a workflow execution

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at May 5, 2025

If you stop a workflow execution, Workflows will first wait for the current active step to complete. Follow this guide to interrupt the step that is currently active: Forcing a workflow to stop.

CLI
API

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the description of the CLI command to stop a workflow execution:

    yc serverless workflow execution stop --help
    
  2. Specify a workflow ID to get a list of workflow executions:

    yc serverless workflow execution list --workflow-id <workflow_ID>
    

    Result:

    executions:
      - id: dfq...e78
        workflow_id: dfqud9cbc4k5********
        status: FINISHED
        started_at: "2025-03-10T15:54:44.304781814Z"
        duration: 1.070697344s
      ...
      - id: dfq...4d5
        workflow_id: dfqud9cbc4k5********
        status: FINISHED
        started_at: "2025-03-10T15:05:19.982768956Z"
        duration: 0.971907165s
    
  3. Stop a workflow execution:

    yc serverless workflow execution stop <workflow_execution_ID>
    

    Result:

    execution_id: dfqmeu8ci1ae2tvocsbv-429e9f6f-b506-4c5a-84b2-9abb********
    

To stop a workflow execution, use the stop REST API method for the Execution resource or the ExecutionService/Stop gRPC API call.
