hi

i've a flow that returns to powerapps a base64 pdf text.

Sometimes i receive this error also if the total execution time is about 6 sec.

The problem seems to be more frequent with apple clients.

Any suggetions?

thank's

    Hi @pellizzari_andr 

    "Respond to a Power App or flow" action has a 120 seconds request timeout limit, and that can't be changed unfortunately. 

    It seems that you're returning a bunch of data to the Power App, so my recommendation would be that you store the data (pdf) in some data source (SharePoint, Dataverse), and return a link to it to the Power App.

    Hope that helps!
