Why is Power Automate so slow?

Posted on by WebPortal 2,291

In the flow below, I'm updating a Dataverse lookup column:

As you may see above, the table has a mere 1895 rows, and it is taking until now 19 minutes!

 

Nineteen minutes!??

 

With a Premium connector!??

 

This would take a fraction of a second with SQL, Python or any other programming language, why is Power Automate so slow?
