Hi all,
 
till last week everything was working fine but it seems that the flow api ex. 
https://api.flowdmicrosoft.com/providers/Microsoft.ProcessSimple/{environmentID}/flows/{resourceId }?api-version=2016-11-01
does not work anymore when trying to use a token of the local or session storage of a power automate tab.Does anybody know if microsoft changed something and it's not possible anymore to get a valid token from the storages to call the platform apis?
 
The api can still be called but one will always get a 401 when trying it with existing tokens.
 
As some extensions are relying on these tokens to fetch, those would become obsolete.
 
I have the same question (0)

    Yes — Microsoft has changed behavior
    • You can no longer reuse tokens from browser storage
    • Must use official auth mechanisms (OAuth / Entra ID)
    Extensions relying on this approach will need to be updated or redesigned
