Hi Team  
Cleanup jobs are causing failures of running jobs.so  
I have disabled these cleanup jobs.  
Is there any consequences of this action?  
Will it affect the running awx environment?

Hello,

We don’t recommend turning off clean up jobs. Disabling clean up jobs will lead to a build up of historical data in your database that would normally have been cleared. If you haven’t already, please file an issue with more detail on the error you are seeing on the failing jobs.
