[Feature Request] Flow Schedule: Implement Time and Call Limitations on Flows to Prevent Overuse and Excessive Costs

Open YamonBot opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Reasons for Suggestion

Introducing scheduling and call limitations for flows in Langflow would prevent infinite or excessive calls, thereby controlling potential overuse and associated costs. This feature would help users manage their resources more effectively and ensure that flows are executed within specified limits.

Content of the Proposal

Implement a scheduling feature in Langflow that allows users to set specific operational times and call limits for each flow. This would include the ability to define daily, weekly, or monthly execution limits, as well as total call caps, ensuring that each flow operates within predefined boundaries.

Technical Considerations

  • Develop an interface where users can set and view schedules and limitations for each flow.
  • Ensure the scheduling system integrates seamlessly with existing flow management tools in Langflow.
  • Implement robust monitoring and alert systems to notify users when their flows are nearing or have reached their set limitations.

Potential Use Cases

  1. Cost Management: Users can manage their budgets more effectively by limiting how often and when specific flows are run.
  2. Resource Allocation: Prevent resource hogging by setting limits, ensuring fair usage among multiple users or processes.
