Hello there,

 

we are using free Power Automate license coming with MS365 for a multilevel approval workflow and recognized the 30 day time limit of a flow. The actual business requirement is a timespan/lieftime of at least 3 months for a single workflow instance.

Is this limitation just due to our licensing or would that even be a thing with Power Automate Premium licenses?

 

any help is greatly appreciuated, cheers

    Thanks for your reply. As my business scenario requires single instances running for more that 30 days, it seems I cannot use Power Automate for that. I know that I could workaround by creating child workflows, but I'm not really convinced of that approach either.

    Hi @gwoot ,

     

    For running flows, actions are typically run for a time limit of 30 days, and for flows that are not triggered, there is no time limit. The time limit is not license-agnostic. For details, please refer to this document. Limits of automated, scheduled, and instant flows - Power Automate | Microsoft Learn

     

     

    Best regards,

    Rimmon
