Hi,
I have created flows in my system, where millions of records are there. But , when the flow is triggered, its looping only few records and getting time out. How to solve this issue and make power automate work when using bulk data? Please, suggest some solution. Thanks.
Timeout is not in the for each, but you must try to check other actions, like if you are connecting to PDA from the flow, then check the timeout property.
Hi bro, you should set it in trigger actions, not every action has timeout settings.
@harsh19 timeout property is not applicable to apply to each action, try some other action.
I followed your instructions. But I don't see any timeout option (in settings). What can be the issue, any suggestions? Thanks
@jinivthakkar @Gopala_Krishna @Expiscornovus Please suggest.
Same issue, I am also not able to find any such option. Is this available for Premium version?
We have a similar issue where we suspect a Flow is timing out from a Power Automate Action that calls into a Flow.
However, we find that selecting the ellipsis to the right of the action yields no options but delete. Was this option to tweak timeouts removed?
Please advise.

From the information you have shared I understand that you have an action using which you are trying to perform some action on the items that you are looping through.
Every action in power automate has the timeout settings which you can use to increase the time out duration.
Click on the three ellipses on the action card(...) and this will open a side menu with options such as Peek Code, Settings and connection details.
Click on settings and here you will be able to see different field settings and also the Timeout duration setting.
Here you can configure the TimeOut in ISO 8601 format suppose I want the action to timeout after 4 days if it has to keep running then I will do P4D(click on the link for more information related to ISO 8601 format)
The way time out works is that let us say you have configured time out for an action to be 1 day, then the max time the action will wait for processing is a day. Let us say the inputs that I have shared to the action are processed in 1 hour then it's fine. If the processing is taking more than a day then the flow will stop at 1 day and the action will timeout as I have configured the timeout to be only a day.
The default timeout in flow is set to be 7 minutes.
Try configuring the timeout in the action card and that will help you in processing all the records.
If the information shared helps you, please consider giving a thumbs up 👍 and mark solution as resolved.
