Hello,
I think my flow executions are getting queued, which might be because of the API limits on an account.
Is there an add-on that can be purchased to increase this limit?
Thanks!
Yes! I have this problem too. In particular using Google Sheets because the API call limit is so low. You can check throttling limits here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/connectors/googlesheet/#limits
But really @microsoft should allow us to just pay more to get more API calls.
Hey @Anonymous,
I think it it queuing because of Trigger frequency and the Frequency really depends on the subscription -

The maximum flow frequency for User based or App based plans is 1 minute, however if you are using Free plan it will be 15 minutes. And if it is Flow for Office 365 (Plan from your Enterprise license E3, E5 etc) and Flow for Dynamics 365 it will be 5 minutes

So it turns out the flow was using the "Send email notification" action, which has pretty strict limitations for the amount of emails that can be sent per minute.
My fix was to replace that action with the Outlook Send Email (V2).
Works perfectly now.
