Power Automate doesn't always appear on Excel Web Automate tab

Hi, I've got some questions I hope I can find the answer here!
 

I've created a Power Automate flow that utilizes Excel Web as the Trigger, Outlook (Output 1), and SharePoint (Output 2). The flow is working perfectly except for one thing: the Power Automate button doesn't always appear on Automate tab in Excel. Sometimes it appears, sometimes it doesn't. For now, my solution is to keep refreshing (pressing F5) the Excel file until the Power Automate button. Sometimes a "Loading add-ins" message appears on the bottom right corner (next to the zoom level controller), but it doesn't guarantee that the Power Automate button appearance.

My questions are:

  • Is there someone experiencing this kind of problem as well?
  • Does anybody know what's causing this situation?
  • Is there something I can do to solve this problem?

 

Thank you in advance!

    It's a known and acknowledged issue. We have a ticket open with Microsoft for that since a couple of weeks. They keep saying it is resolved but so far it isn't, for us at least.

    Can you also raise a support ticket on this issue with Microsoft, mentioning that this behavior is happening to others as well
