Use prefect flow-run retry to re-execute a failed or cancelled flow run. The flow run keeps its original ID and parameters, but the run_count increments.

​
Find flow runs to retry

List failed flow runs to find the name you need: 
prefect flow-run ls --state FAILED

​
Retry a deployment-based flow run

If the flow run was created from a deployment, retry schedules it for a worker to pick up: 
prefect flow-run retry adventurous-crocodile
The flow run’s state changes to Scheduled and a worker will pick it up for execution.

​
Retry a local flow run

Flow runs created without a deployment require an --entrypoint to the flow code: 
prefect flow-run retry adventurous-crocodile --entrypoint ./flows/my_flow.py:my_flow
The flow executes immediately in the current process.

​
Retry by ID

If multiple flow runs share the same name, use the UUID instead: 
prefect flow-run retry a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890
