Hi @bulky-gpu-70936 and I have a question related to run_ids: We are seeing a situation where one of our users, when running flows on his Ubuntu machine, have run_ids that are many magnitudes higher than the run_ids we see when anyone else runs any flow. Can anyone think of any reason why this might be? To clarify if I run a flow I might see something like:

[6823/start/287731 (pid 35172)] Task is starting.

Whereas he might see something like

[1661943738039791/start/1 (pid 7753)] Task is starting.

For clarity, he is using the same metaflow metadata service and the runs are logged and can be found through the Flow API, i.e. everything else appears to be normal.

The long run ids are when you are using the local metadata service (they are timestamps effectively) so that second user isn't actually using the metadata “service”

Ah, thanks @dry-beach-38304, that’s sorted it.
