Hi lovely Community,
is there a way to stop a running data integration Datflow once it has started?
Or do we have to wait until it has finished before to start it again?
BR,
Sven
Hi @KSven, unfortunately you can't cancel an in-progress dataflow. You'll have to wait until it finishes. You should submit the idea which would be handy particularly for long running dataflows: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/idb-p/PowerAppsIdeas
Cheers
Hi @EricRegnier ,
done 🙂

Bonjour Eric!
The ability to cancel dataflows is a must, I also voted for this idea. I have a dataflow that's been running for 27 hours; it usually runs for less than 5 minutes. I read on other posts that dataflows were automatically cancelled after 24 hours. I'm thinking there is maybe a setting to specify the maximum runtime for a dataflow. Do you know if this is indeed the case?
Thanks!
Apologies for late response @CharlesS, don't think there is that can be set from PPAC or Maker portal. Might be worth contact Microsoft via support ticket. They might be able to share the environment/organizational setting and how to update if there's one.
Hi @CharlesS Did you ever find a way to limit the dataflow runtime? A set period after which it times out? Got the same issue that sometimes, randomly, the dataflow takes 8 hours + whilst normally the flow would only take 2-5 min.
Hello @lg-power !
Well, I did find a way, but not the one I hoped for. I ended up getting the flow cancelled through a support ticket.
I also sometimes get dataflows randomly running for very long periods of time. Quite frustrating indeed.
For now, I think the best thing to do is to vote on @KSven 's idea here: Dataflow | Manual cancel of Dataflow in progress - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com) . Maybe you have a few buddies at work that agree with you and you can get them to vote as well 😉
Keep 'em flowin' (but not too long)

Two years later, this is still an outstanding issue. I am experiencing it now.I just upvoted and I'm bumping this so more will see it. Seems like a basic functionality. If you are reading, please go upvote.
Same here.
