## Cancel flow runs

You can cancel flow runs on the related flow's **Run history** page, or by using a [template](https://make.preview.powerautomate.com/galleries/public/templates/52c2eb66c0664b3b82480d1adcc6c1b4/cancel-all-of-my-flow-runs?environment=e85a08f2-6b04-ef9d-bbe3-05c8fb307b0b). The bulk cancel feature available through the flow portal is most efficient when you cancel up to 20 flows at a time. We recommend that you use the template linked previously in this section for more than 20 runs when possible. This also applies to runs in the hundreds. Alternatively, you can use the bulk cancel feature for all flows in **Waiting** or **Running** status regardless of the count. To set an expectation of how this utility functions review the following details.

The bulk cancel feature enables you to initiate the cancellation process for any flows in the queue that are currently in the **Running** or **Waiting** state, without needing to select individual flow runs. This is useful during incidents involving numerous erroneous flows. By using this feature, all flow runs in the queue are immediately suspended and are no longer processed. While suspended, their status displays as **Waiting** and systematically transitions to **Canceling** and finally to **Cancelled**.

> - If a flow is turned off, pending canceled flows remain **Waiting**, and the queue doesn't clear until the flow is turned back on.
102
+
> - If the flow was throttled, allocate some [capacity](desktop-flows/capacity-process.md#allocate-process-capacity-to-a-cloud-flow) or the queue remains stuck and doesn't clear. Contact your environment administrator to assign capacity to the environment, which can be applied to the flow.
103
+
> - To expedite cancellation on flows with [concurrency](limits-and-config.md#concurrency-looping-and-debatching-limits) settings, adjust the setting to the maximum value (100) so erroneous queued runs can clear (100) at a time.

1. If there are more than 20 flows in **Waiting** or **Running** status, another message might appear to indicate that it might take several minutes for the flow run statuses to change to **Canceling**. This message means your flows are suspended, and no further actions are executed for flows that are already **Running**. Flows in **Waiting** status are also terminated without actions being executed.

Optionally, you might choose to select the checkbox to stop your flow and address any underlying issues that are triggering faulty runs. Any queued flows show as **Waiting** and don't clear until the flow is turned back on.

Flows that exceeded the [concurrency](limits-and-config.md#concurrency-looping-and-debatching-limits) setting might be visible in the **Waiting** state alongside other flow runs in the **Canceling** state. This is by design. The flows were suspended when the bulk cancel was submitted unless they were triggered after the feature was used. The state changes to **Canceling** when their turn to be processed comes up in the queue.

Flows that exceeded the [concurrency](limits-and-config.md#concurrency-looping-and-debatching-limits) setting might be visible in the **Waiting** state alongside other flow runs in the **Canceling** state. This is by design. Bulk cancelation can be sped up by adjusting concurrency limits to (100), otherwise it slows the process even further. The state changes to **Canceling** when their turn to be processed comes up in the queue.
