My flow is getting throttled and I don't believe I should be hitting any limits

My flow is getting throttled and I don't believe I should be exceeding any limits.

 

Here's a summary of my flow:

  1. Trigger
  2. Init Variable
  3. Init Variable
  4. Open Outlook Calendar (previous month)
    1. Write that calendar data to an Excel Spreadsheet
    2. Steps 4 & 4a occur 16 times (total of 32 operations)
  5. Init Variable
  6. Init Variable
  7. Get Attachment
  8. Set Variable
  9. Send Email

My flow runs the first of every month.  By my count there are 40 total actions being taken. How am I going over any limit with 40 actions once per month?

 

I reviewed the data in step 4a and only 293 rows of data were written to Excel before the Flow got throttled.  This doesn't make sense to me.

 

I just tested my flow and I got this error message:
Flow save failed with code 'DynamicOperationRequestClientFailure' and message 'The dynamic operation request to API 'excelonlinebusiness' operation 'GetTable' failed with status code '429'. This may indicate invalid input parameters. Error response: { "status": 429, "message": "Too many requests to Graph API. Please try again later.\r\nclientRequestId: REDACTED\r\nserviceRequestId: REDACTED", "error": { "message": "Too many requests to Graph API. Please try again later." }, "source": "excelonline-wus.azconn-wus.p.azurewebsites.net" }'.

    Found the answer to the 429 error here:  https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Status-code-429-quote-rate-limit-is-exceeded-try-again-in-59/td-p/1120387 and here https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Excel-errors/td-p/581006 

     

    I ended up doing Fixed Interval - 50 Count - PT10S Interval to fix mine.
