File System - Create File created a truncated file without throwing an error

Hi
 
One of my flows, which has been running flawlessly for months, had an issue the other day.
 
File System - Create File created a truncated file on the destination instead of the full file content.
 
There was no error, the flow reported success, the actions inside the flow all reported a green checkmark. 
 
The create file action in the run history had size of x, but on the filesystem the size of the file was about half of x. Again, no error, no warnings, no nothing. 
 
I only noticed the error because I review the output file by hand every few days. 
 
Is this a known bug, are we expected to add a bunch of logic code after every Create File action to make sure that it actually worked properly by reading the file back? 
 
Where is the documentation for failure modes of power automate actions? 
 
Thanks
