First HTTP request takes 5 mins when called from Flow

Firstly I should I'm new to Power Automate, but not new to making API calls with curl / postman. I'm building a flow that returns a json object from a third party service.

1. Lookup Id

2. pass Id to get results

These services needs a token that I get from an alternate service without issue. The token is valid as I get a 403 if I test it with a bad token.

When I test the flow, I see the first http call reports

{
 "error": {
 "code": "BadRequest",
 "message": "Http request failed with status code 'ConnectFailure' and status message: 'Unable to connect to the remote server'."
 }
}

However if I wait...... I get the result after 5 mins on a retry, the 2nd call to the same service takes less than a second.

I know its obvious to blame the 3rd party, however making the same calls with Curl or Postman the whole process is less than one second?

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Rob
