Approval Flow - timing out

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have inherited several flows from a previous manager who unexpectedly passed away. I know nothing about Power Automate and flows and am in over my head. The biggest issue I have is in our purchase req library, which has an automated flow. When someone puts in a preq, the flow automatically begins. The flow has been timing out after 7 days and I cannot find where I would extend it or how to extend it. Can anyone give me advice on where to start? I googled it and still could not figure it out.
