I am hoping someone can explain the behavior of Power Automate when testing a flow. I have a flow and test it by manually triggering execution. It scans a list for entries that require a reminder. The flow runs and within 5 minutes all of the emails I expect the flow to generate are sent and received.
Oddly however, the flow continues to indicate its running well after this point and finally completes at 12 minutes. At this point it reports the flow execution time was actually between 5 and 6 minutes, and not the 12 minutes the browser reported and I waited.
The flow does have a loop that iterates only 14 times (14 emails). I scanned the execution path of each iteration (a time consuming process in PA for some reason), and found no errors. I also note that when the flow is running the computer fan speed increases dramatically.
My questions: 1) why is my workstation working so hard during a flow manual test, 2) Why does the flow run for 12 minutes when its actually done in 6 minutes, 3) Why is moving through the execution of a loop to see the results of each iteration so slow making the process hugely time consuming.
