Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding Power Automate licensing for Premium connectors, specifically the HTTP action.
As per Microsoft documentation, the HTTP connector is categorized as a Premium connector, which should require a Power Automate Premium license (per user or per flow).
However, in my current setup I am able to create and run flows with the HTTP action successfully even though no Premium license is assigned.
My environment details:
Neither account has Power Automate Premium or Per Flow (Process) licensing.
The flow includes an HTTP action used to call a SharePoint endpoint (/transform/zip) to generate a ZIP file from SharePoint files. The flow runs successfully without any licensing warnings or failures.
My questions:
-
Is it mandatory to have a Premium license to run flows that contain the HTTP action?
-
If it is mandatory, why is the flow currently working without a Premium license?
-
Could this be related to:
-
The Default environment
-
Developer plan (Power Apps Developer license)
-
Calling an internal SharePoint endpoint
-
Licensing enforcement not being triggered yet?
I want to understand whether this behavior is expected or just temporarily allowed, and whether it could break later if Microsoft enforces licensing more strictly.
If anyone has official documentation or experience with similar behavior, please share.
Thanks in advance.
