Hi, i have a flow that keeps timing out on an "Apply to each stage" around 1800 data records, is there a way to change the timeout variable as I can only see this on certain actions but not apply to each.

Thanks

There is no way to change the timeout, but I've had loops that run for almost 9 hours so I'm not sure that is the actual problem. But one way to help this is by turning on Concurrency in the loop settings. In the example I just gave I was able to get the loop timing down from 9 hours to around 40 minutes by enabling Concurrency. The main problem with doing this is that you can't use Variables inside a loop that has Concurrency enabled. Doing so will cause the loop to ignore the concurrency setting. This blog post talks about how to replace variables with Compose statements inside loops.

I didn't know what the concurrency control actually did until looking up, thats really useful. I changed the initial query and filtered with fetchxml which did resolve the root cause i believe, now all running smoothly. Thanks for your help @Pstork1
