Notebook cell won't finish running or cancelling. Interrupt button greyed out.

A cell in a notebook that is using the %run magic command to run another notebook was running for what I considered too long and so I clicked the interrupt button and now the button is greyed out and giving a spinning circle.

The interrupt button at the top of the notebook doesn't do anything either.

Screenshot attached.

I saw a similar post here but the issue resolved itself.

Hello @help_needed_445!

Are you still experiencing this issue? You can try restarting your cluster to force-stop any ongoing processes. If that doesnโ€™t resolve the problem, detaching and reattaching the notebook to the cluster might help.

Detaching and reattaching the notebook to the cluster worked. Thanks.
