Threads - does CLI value overwrite the value from profiles.yml

[moseleyi]

I’m running dbt with --threads 8 but I still see it being executed with only 4, which is the value from profiles.yml. I thought that CLI takes precedence, can anybody confirm that it’s the case, or isn’t?

Your understanding is right --threads flag should override the profile
