Laravel 12 queue workers maintenance mode existing jobs --force queue restart waits current job official documentation

💡 Result:

In Laravel 12, queue workers are long-lived processes that process jobs sequentially. Regarding your query about how they handle maintenance mode and restart signals, here is the official behavior: Maintenance Mode When your application is in maintenance mode, queue workers do not automatically stop [1][2]. They will continue to process jobs unless instructed otherwise [3][4]. If you wish to prevent workers from processing jobs during maintenance, you must manually stop or pause them [4]. Worker Restarts The php artisan queue:restart command is the standard way to handle deployments and code updates [1][2]. When you run php artisan queue:restart, the command does not kill workers immediately [2]. Instead, it sends a signal to all running workers to finish their current job and then exit gracefully [2]. Once a worker finishes its active job, it stops, allowing your process manager (such as Supervisor or systemd) to start a fresh worker process with the updated code [2]. Forced Maintenance Mode Operation If you need a queue worker to continue processing jobs even while the application is in maintenance mode, you can use the --force flag with the queue:work command: php artisan queue:work --force [3] Summary of Behavior Existing Jobs: Queue workers always finish the current job they are processing before exiting or pausing due to a signal (such as a restart or manual pause) [4][2]. They are designed to avoid interrupting jobs in progress [4][2]. Restart Wait Time: Workers do not have a specific "wait" configuration for restarts; they simply complete their current, in-progress job and then exit [2]. If a job takes a long time to complete, the worker will remain active until that job finishes [2]. Therefore, you do not need to worry about jobs being killed mid-process when using the standard queue:restart command or entering maintenance mode—the workers will prioritize completing the current task [4][2].

Drain writers before deleting storage.

php artisan down does not stop queue workers, and php artisan queue:restart only signals workers to exit after their current job. Stop or drain pelican-queue and other writers before Line 133, wait for completion, and abort if the drain fails.

the php artisan down check and before the storage deletion commands to stop or
drain pelican-queue and other storage writers, wait for completion, and abort
with an error if draining fails; preserve the existing maintenance-flag
exclusions and deletion behavior.
