Inside my automated flow i am using this action to get all the channels under a Teams ID:-

currently i have 25 standard channels and i can get them all,, but in the future our channels will increase, so i am worried about this action and how many channels it can retrieve? and if there is a limitation, then how we can get all channels without having to worry about any limitation?

Thanks

There is no specific maximum on this action, but a Specific Team can't have more than 200 Channels so I would expect that to be the maximum.

Sorry, I misspoke. A user can't create more than 200 channels in a Team, but a Team can have up to 1,000 channels. Limits and specifications for Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn

@Pstork1 thanks for the reply, but i can not figure out where this info inside the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams#teams-and-channels ? that a user can only create 200 channel in a teams?

The user limit isn't in that document, it came up in a search. But that limit wouldn't affect the number of channels returned by the list all channels if a Team can have 1,000. That limit is in that documentation.

@Pstork1 based on my test i were able to create 204++ channels using the same user under the same Teams.. so i do not think we are limited to any 200 channels created by single user..

now since i am creating planner inside the related office 365, i can not own 200 planner projects under the same Office 365 group.. so the limit is on the Planner side and not on the channel side.
