Slow Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

We have a case where we want to pick up 20.000 pictures from a One Drive-disk with a power automate flow. Each picture should then be analyzed with a call to AI Builder Predict and the result then saved to a sql database. When we try to run this in a test environment, we run into trouble already with a few hundred pictures. The first one or two-hundred works OK, but then everything slows down. The flow gets stuck in 'Running' state. It could be on any step in the flow and eventually all flows will run to completion, but it can take very long time (several hours).

    Hello 

    Slow flow can be reason you exceeded allowed API call limit for your license tier

    Have a good day.

    OK, so we have a "Per user"-license, what is the limit then? And what counts as an API-call?

    Request limits based on user licenses

    All the users of Microsoft Power Platform have limits on the number of requests based on the license they are assigned. The following table defines the number of requests a user can make in a 24-hour period:

    REQUEST LIMITS BASED ON USER LICENSES
       
       
       
       
    Power Apps per user plan3 5,000
    Power Automate per user plan3 5,000
    Office licenses (that include Power Apps/Power Automate)4 2,000
       

     

    Every step in flow count as API count
