Terminating a workflow execution

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at June 27, 2025

If you terminate a workflow execution, this will interrupt the current active step. To stop a workflow after the current active step is complete, follow this guide.

Management console
CLI
API
  1. In the management console, navigate to the folder where the workflow execution is in progress.
  2. Select Serverless Integrations.
  3. In the left-hand panel, click Workflows and select a workflow.
  4. In the left-hand panel, click Executions.
  5. Next to the execution, click and select Terminate.

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

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for terminating a workflow execution:

    yc serverless workflow execution terminate --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. Terminate the workflow execution:

    yc serverless workflow execution terminate <workflow_execution_ID>
    

    Result:

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

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