I have already created a flow yesterday and had successful runs. But when I tried running the same without any modifications faced the error status code 429 where it mentioned as below:

The dynamic operation request to API 'excelonlinebusiness' operation 'GetTable' failed with status code '429'. This may indicate invalid input parameters. Error response: { "status": 429, "message": "Too many requests to Graph API. Please try again later. clientRequestId: *********** serviceRequestId: *************", "error": { "message": "Too many requests to Graph API. Please try again later." }, "source": "*************" }

now I am unable to select the table in the file due to this issue. I hope it is not for me alone.

Can anyone help me to resolve this

Facing Error status code - 429

I have seen another post where someone else has reported the same issue.
See: Is excel connection down for flows?

The status code 429 indicates "Too Many Requests" and this typically happens when the flow has exceeded the rate limit for API calls or requests to a service. In other words, you are making too many requests in a short period, and the Power Automate service is protecting itself from overload. You are probably rerunning the flow again and again, which is making too many calls (actions) in a short period of time,

You could try:

Don't use Concurrency

Reduce unnecessary API calls

Implement Retry Policies

Retry Policies

Configure exponential backoff retry policies for actions:

Set "Type" to "Exponential Interval" and adjust "Count", "Interval", and "Maximum Interval" settings.

Retry Policy Components

Type: Exponential Interval

Count: 20

Interval: PT10S (10 seconds)

Minimum Interval: PT10S (10 seconds)

Maximum Interval: PT40S (40 seconds)

The "Exponential Interval" type means that the time between retry attempts increases exponentially.
