'The request exceeded allowed limits' (In Update Task Details) (Planner)

Hi, what does this mean? 

I've created an automated flow such that when a task in Planner is completed in one bucket, a new one is created in the next bucket. I also added a fixed checklist to be added. 

The new task IS created in the new bucket - but the checklist doesn't show.

There are 20ish checklist items.

 

Hoping for a quick response, and will upvote answer if helpful - thanks!

    @AnkurVerma  you just go into the planner  and change it to grid view, then you can highlight and delete the completed tasks from this section

    I am fairly new to this, how do you delete completed tasks? and is there a way to increase the limit?

    Fantastic! that makes absolute sense! thank you for sharing. I am also not that savvy and the suggestion to go in an create a new flow to delete old tasks doesnt really suit our scenario as we use it as a control, so need for record keeping. I was able to get it to work also by sharing to another sharepoint and making it a cloud flow, as previously it was a personal flow, so maybe that had something to do with it too

    Yes, we found a workaround.  Unfortunately, I had to have someone go in and manually delete most of the prior completed tasks in the flow.  I was over the limit in the flow.  Once this was complete my flows began to process again as usual.  I was told to create another flow that would automatically do the delete after a specific timeframe but have not done this yet.  I not very savvy in the "Flow" language.  Hope this helps.

    I don't believe there is a workaround, because powerautomate has a maximum allowance of 9. Unless having the paid plan.

    I just received the same error.  I have many Flows set up and the have been working correctly until today.  Has there been an update to Flow that would cause this error?  I have over 75 checklist items that I am not able to generate.

    I guess that the maximum allowance is 9

    Thank you Michael, 

    I have just tried that with 1 minute and 2 minute delay, and same issue.

    Any other theories/things you think I can try?

    Thanks!

    Hi @Automation12345 

     

    There is no absolute answer. It could be that the task isn't fully created (yet) so you should put a Delay action between the create and the update, so that there is time.

     

    I would give that a go first.


    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers

    Thank You
