What triggers Power Automate connections to need reauthentication?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

A number of times probably 2-4 times a year, myself and colleagues witness our flows not running properly (at different times, we don't all experience this at the same time or even after the same action e.g. it's not a change of password that causes this) and that our Power Automate connections require reauthentication. Not a problem, easy to reauthenticate and they're up and running again.

I want to understand what is causing the connections to require reauthentication? Is this a quarterly/biannual requirement to reauthenticate connections? It isn't tied to a change in password, and doesn't occur for all of us at the same time so unlikely to be an organisational change to our tenant in any way.

I've not been able to find any guidance online and wondered if the community have any insight they could share! Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Below blog may have explained to this issue, not totally but at least partially:

    Broken connections in Power Automate (sharepains.com)

    Thanks for your reply @v-jefferni, much appreciated. I had found that article prior to posting but unfortunately it doesn't explain why these connections break in the first instance which is what I'm trying to understand.
