Power Automate Flow - terminates after 1 hour - why?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

Hi all

I have a flow that is populating historical data.

Based on the throughput experienced, I calculated that it should take about 9 hours to complete its work.

After an hour the Flow was terminated as "succeeded".

Every time that I run it, it stops after an hour.

I can't find a service or duration limit that indicates a flow will terminate itself after an hour.

Does anybody know of such a limit?

    Some actions have maximum duration limits. Also there are kind of windows of authorization that are used.

     

    (I'm not an IT professional and don't know technical terms.)

    Like when you use an action to update something, the action has some kind of authorization token id that is telling the service "for the next minute, anything that comes from this token is legit" but after that minute is up, the token isn't relevant.

     

    So you might be running into something like that?

     

    A flow that runs 9 hours is a problem. I think you should try to rework your process to get the time lowered. Power Automate is more designed to complete specific tasks or actions.

     

    You might try to use a Batch update method
