I'm getting a "Session occupied" error in dbt CLI?

If you're receiving a Session occupied error in the Cloud CLI or if you're experiencing a long-running session, you can use the dbt invocation list command in a separate terminal window to view the status of your active session. This helps debug the issue and identify the arguments that are causing the long-running session.

To cancel an active session, use the Ctrl + Z shortcut.

To learn more about the dbt invocation command, see the dbt invocation command reference.

Alternatively, you can reattach to your existing session with dbt reattach and then press Control-C and choose to cancel the invocation.
