Backend ionq.qpu.aria-1 taking significantly more time than "average queue time" to run. Can we check how many jobs are scheduled before us? Or how to check if my job submission is correctly done?

Question

The "average queue time" for ionq.qpu.aria-1 is presently 206h 57m, equivalently around 8.5 days (picture 1 attached). And I had submitted my job on 16th March 2023 (picture 2 attached).
Almost 14 days are over for me, but still the job is in "waiting", not running.

Is there anyway to check how many jobs are present in the queue?

@San Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

You can check how many jobs are present in the queue by using the target list command. The Average Queue Time column of this command shows you how many seconds recently run jobs waited in the queue. This can give you an idea of how long you might have to wait.

To check if your job submission is correct and check on the status, you can use the az quantum job show command. This command shows you the status of your job and any error messages that may have occurred. Eventually, you should see the Status in the above table change to Succeeded. Once that's done you can get the results from the job by running az quantum job output.
