Long flow triggered from power apps runs multiple times.

Hi,

I have some issue with power automate flow that runs from canvas app.
Power automate flow getting records from excel(kept in sharepoint) and for each record creates a record for CDS entity.
Unfortunately when i run a flow after about two minutes another run of the same flow is triggerd, i don't know why.  This repeats itself until four processes runs at once (always next flows is run after about 2 minutes), but in application button was pressed only once.

Do you have any thoughts why it triggers multiple times ?
There is some mechanism that triggers a long running flow several times to make it faster or something ? 
This cause duplicates in my CDS and many errors in my flow.

    Can you please paste a screenshot of your flow?

    It's really long and complicated:

    Apply to each section:

    It has also some logic in conditional sections, but i don't know what we looking for ?

    Perhaps an important clue is that the problem occurs only when I run flow from the Canvas app. When i run the flow directly from Power Automate (via the run button), flow works correctly and starts only once.

    Have you found a solution to this?  I have the same problem.  In Power Automate it only runs one time, but triggered from PowerApps it triggers multiple times.  All the data is captured in the PowerApp already so there is nothing to pull at the time of the Run button.
