When an Item is created or Modified performance issue

Hi all - I was trying to create a flow to update values from one SharePoint list to another - I was using the trigger When an item is created or modified .... issue is it took about 6 hours for the flow to run - I redesigned it with a manual trigger and it worked fine- but was wondering if anyone had any intel on why this took so long. There are only about 100 records in the list...

    Remove the when an item is created or modified trigger.  I am assuming the the Get items and the rest of your Flow logic is valid.  If you have issues, post all of your Flow with as much detail as possible.

    Do you want the updates to happen every time an item is updated in the primary list or do you want it to run on a schedule?

    hi @ScottShearer the purpose of the flow is to update items in a SharePoint list based on items from another sharepoint list I researched some designs and this was one that I found, which worked in the video demonstration. Thanks for your input!

    You are using two triggers - you should only use one.  If you want the Flow to run when an item is created or modified, remove the recurrence trigger.  The Flow will run within 5 minutes of an item being created or modified.

    What is the purpose of your Flow?

    It is unusual for you to have a Get items action after a When an item is created or modified trigger unless you are retrieving items from another list.
