Can you try with blank worker_id/work_name in your clearml.conf (basically how it was before)?

You can force kill the agent using kill -9 <process_id> but clearml-agent daemon stop should work.

Also, can you verify that one of the daemons is the clearml-services daemon? This one should be running from inside a docker on your server machine (I'm guessing you're self hosting - correct?).
