Pagination Not Working

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 24
'List rows present in a table' has a max retrieval of 256 items. I need to retrieve 994 rows.
I've turned on pagination and set the threshold to 1000 (though 4 should do it if I understand correctly). 
When I run the flow, I'm still only retrieving 256 items (confirmed by 'Apply to each' loop running 256 times). 
 
The same thing happens with 'Get items' or anything else I've tried to turn pagination on for. Am I doing something wrong or is this some subscription feature that I'm missing? 
 
Thanks in advance

    @CU03101624-0 You've set the Top Count to 256. Clear this field and you should be good to go!
     
     
    Hope this helps!

    @creativeopinion probably a misleading screenshot. I've tried this with top counts of 1000 and 5000 with no success (concurrently with pagination thresholds of 1000+). At the time I took that screenshot I'd reset the top count to 256 because that particular action ('List rows present in table') is limited to 256--you're supposed to used pagination for anything higher than that, e.g. this thread: https://community.powerplatform.com/forums/thread/details/?threadid=f3022d91-7211-4f84-93a5-7b7a4414d48f

    The threshold limit was updated a few years ago.
     
    Set the pagination threshold to the maximum number of rows and clear the Top Count property.
     
    I have an Excel file with 36,780 rows (row 1 is the header):
     
     
     
     
     
    In the example below I enabled pagination and set the threshold to 40,000 rows:
     
     
    I added a compose action to count the rows.
     
     
    The Excel file has 36,780 rows and the number of rows that were read, 36,780:
