send http request suddenly responses "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"

Hi,

 

I got a Power Automate flow that runs for about 6 month now without any problem. I am using the "send http request" action to update an item with a system update, meaning that the item will be updated but no other workflows will be triggered.

To be exactly: I am using this approach: 

https://www.techmikael.com/2019/04/disable-event-firing-when-flow-updates.html

 

Since about 2 weeks (not sure exactly) when using the send-http-request action I get the following error:

    Hi @esemuhdeoh,

     

    I don't know why it suddenly isn't working. But normally I prefer to use the ValidateUpdateListItem method for this instead (which is also mentioned in that same article).

     

    Have you tried using that method instead and see if you get the same unauthorizedaccessexception?

    Yes, tried that and worked. 

    But it is still important for me why the above mentioned action isn't working!
