    While the Slurm scheduler is working normally and jobs are running, access to the normal squeue command will return an error or hang.

    Until this is resolved, you can use /usr/bin/squeue HOWEVER, please do not call this in scripts or on a loop/frequently as this command puts more burden on the scheduler. Please only use manually and sparingly as needed.

    We will update this incident when squeue is working again.
