Scheduled Flow takes many hours at night time

So i've created a Flow based on this video:

Automatically update EXCEL from PLANNER using FLOW - YouTube

 

My flow is basically exactly the same as this one.

 

And the Flow works just fine, a run is usually about 2-3 Minutes. But for some reason the runs at night time take 10+ hours (even over 20 at some point). Another problem is, that all the following Flows (so the ones that start the day after) are also taking that long. So I have to turn off the flow manually before I turn off my computer and I also have to turn on the Flow manually the next day to prevent this to happen, which is pretty annoying.

The Problem is always one of the "Apply to each" Loops:

 

In this case its the first apply to each:

And in this case its the second apply to each:
