InfluxDB Version: v2.6.1

Host OS: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-139-generic x86\_64)

Host Memory: 125G

The task status is stuck at started for a long time, and no task data is returned when using the influx task list at the same time.

Task execution record

We tried to improve its performance, but it still didn’t work.  
Any idea whats going on ?

Hi @Anaisdg ,  
thanks for your reply.  
The same issue occurred again today. However, the logs appear to be normal, and the task is shown as running in the UI interface. But, the task is not seen as running in the tasks list within Ubuntu. If I restart the InfluxDB service, the task is completed within three minutes.
