Any way to check whether I have any automation that is running at the moment / check the status of my automations?

Reading the sentiment of this forum, sounds like in general it would be unwise to setup any automation that spans longer than, say 1-2 hours.
And I understand is that it is because automations like that could easily break. For example, any system restart / reload, the automations running halfway through would be abandoned.

Hence the question: Is there a place to go, or any way, to check whether I have any automation that is running halfway through at the moment?

Ideas? Comments? Recommendations?

The value of the automation’s current attribute will be non-zero when the automation is busy (executing its actions).

You can use it to determine which automations are “running”.

For example, type current: 1 in the Attributes column of Developer Tools → States.

Using Taras’ suggestion, you could create a markdown card to show automations that are currently under way:

type: markdown
content: >
  {{ states.automation | selectattr('attributes.current', 'gt', 0) |
  map(attribute='name') | join('\n') }}
