Can I change the ETA parameter for a given celery task?

Question

I have a set o celery tasks that I run using:

my_task.apply_async(args, eta=some_eta)

But sometimes due to certain conditions I need to change the ETA of those tasks.

I can get the id of the task using inspect and scheduled methods and I'm wondering if there's a way to change the ETA parameter knowing the id of the task or I should revoke this task and start another one?

Answer 1

inspect and scheduled are about the worker's (workers') queue and the queue cannnot be changed.

You can only change eta value before running apply_async() or delay()

Maybe you can revoke the task and start a new one with different eta.
