Thanks AlexTheKidd for the reply.
I did not try your suggestion. I did not completely understand how to set it up and how this could resolve the issue.
In my flow I open two different existing excels as read only to read values, populate a list and then close them.
These values are stored to perform validation and confirm that all instances of a variable contain valid entries.
So I need to be able to pass variables from a flow to another.
Then I open a second excel where I write down all the values of around 30 attributes that I gathered from looking at files and validating their filenames and file paths.
The process should work for a big amount of files.
Today the process stopped at opening the excels but I don't think that, if it is a bug, it is impacting only excels.
I have other flows where reading files from a folder and writing to a text file seem impacted.
As most of my flows work on one drive maybe it is a cloud issue or internet speed.
Really strange.
