Posted on by Santhosh_V_26

Hi,

 

I was created few approvals and  i was aware we can change timeout of the approvals based on ISO 8601 format.

But I was not able to find what would be the timeout delay for an approval by default and the maximum timeout delay that we can use?

 

Looking for the any answers for this...

 

Thanks.

    Power Automate approvals time out after 30 days of creation. That is the default timeout.  Refer below...

     

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/limits-and-config

     

    Run duration 30 days Run duration is calculated by using a run's start time. Includes flows with pending steps like approvals. After 30 days, any pending steps time-out.
