A zombie flow is a flow that has been running for much longer than expected without terminating. If we had many of these running at one time, they could start accumulating, use up all the resources, and prevent new flows from launching. They could bring the entire pipeline to a halt.

We should implement a system in the Scheduler flows that checks for unusually long running flows and terminates them manually if needed. For now, we will monitor things in the Prefect UI but this is not an ideal long term solution.
