Flow ran 10 times?

Ok, this is really weird and today is the first time I have seen this.  

 
I created a quick flow, that adds today's date to a date field when an item was moved to a library. It's a super simple flow. 1 step. If an item is added to the archive, put the current date in date archived.  (I should just be able to set a default date of today in SP, but that is not working for some reason.) This flow ran 10 times when I tested it. This should not have happened. As far as I can tell, this would not be an infinite loop and even if it was, why would it run successfully 10 times then stop?  I ran it only once in test mode. I honestly don't know what is happening.  Help!

    Nevemind.  It turns out because what was migrated was a document set, it ran as many times as there were items in the documents set.
