recurrence every minute is not working properly

Hi all,

I have a flow that runs every minute, checks for a specific time from a SharePoint list, a checkbox, then sends an email if the criteria is fulfilled. I am having a huge issue though, and am unsure how to fix it.

Here's my recurrence setup:

The flow seems to double up or skip minutes and this is causing issues. Here is what my runs look like:

I need it to be firing of at 12:01, 12:02, 12:03, etc. Instead it's doing 12:09, 12:09, 12:10, 12:12.... how do I get it to stop doing this and fire off at the top of ever minute? The runs don't take a full minute so I'm stumped. I had something that was supposed to go out at 12:00 but didn't because it did 11:58 twice, skipped 12:00, and went straight to 12:01. Please help!

@watson_flow How your flow is completing within 1 minute.? Is it working fine as per your requirement? I am not considering frequency as of now.

@Hardesh15 It runs fine otherwise! If it lands on the right minute and everything aligns, it works perfectly.

Hi @Hardesh15 - I recreated the flow on my end and it's still skipping minutes. I even changed the interval to every 5 minutes and it's still going off at the wrong time. Would you be able to share your initial prompt? Did you have it set up in a different way?

Hi all - I was able to solve the issue. See below:

This was what helped. Having a start time completely messed up the timing, even if it was an even, whole number. Removing the start time and leaving it blank fixed the problem. Not sure why - kind of defeats the purpose of having a "start time" field, but I digress. Example below:

No skipped minutes! Yay!

@watson_flow Start Time is meant for when your flow will trigger first time. After that it will run as per frequency and interval.
