Thanks for following up here @GenevieveBuckley. FWIW test_interrupt is still a flaky test, though probably for a different reason than originally reported on this issue. I’ll wait until I see this failure pop up again in CI and open a new issue with an updated traceback

Thanks James, that sounds like a good plan
