Your operation has been throttled error on Flows

Hi Guys,

I have a flow for my Dynamics 365 where if the current cost of the product is updated, it propagates the change to the orderlines where the product has been added, this sometimes causes the error "Your operation has been throttled error on Flows "

Just wondering how you guys were able to get past this issue? is it possible to schedule lets say 500 automated runs for a flow in the span of 30 minutes ? or do it by batch instead of it trying to run for everything at once?

Hi @jimmart I found an article I hope helps you a bit with this issue, in which, you can see some of the causes and potential resolutions:

Quoting from the article:

"(...)You can alleviate the problem by:

Redesigning your flow to use fewer actions.
- If you have 'Do until' or 'For each item' loops in your flow, see if you can reduce the number of loop iterations, possibly by retrieving fewer items to iterate through.
- Many connectors have 'Filter query' and 'Top count' parameters that can be used to reduce the number of items retrieved.
- If you have a scheduled flow that runs frequently, consider reducing the frequency. Many flows that run once per minute or hour could be revised to occur less often.
Purchasing a Per User or Per Flow license from the pricing page.
- If your flow is hitting the 2000 actions/5min throttle but otherwise does not generate a lot of load, this will be sufficient.
- If your flow is executing thousands of actions every day, you should consider purchasing a Per Flow license to get better throughput and higher quotas. Per Flow plans provide the best performance quotas available.
