    The only time I have seen this is if I changed something after the flow stopped or errored out. Try immediately after the error occurs before you change anything.

    Its currently working but seems to be a roulette if it decides to work or not, in my case the outcome doesn't seem to vary based on how it stopped.

    I've noticed that I can't view var when I hold the flow with Display message and Stop button. When the flow is stopped by Stop flow action (using instead of Display message) variables are viewable.

    Do you mean the display message action? to pause the flow? if so then yeah you cant interact with variables while the flow is still active. I find its still kinda just random if ill be able to see the value of the variable but it usually works fine nowadays.
