Html to text function suddenly truncating output

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have about sixty Power Automate flows that take the contents of an email message, converts the email body to plain HTML using the Content Conversion HTML to text function, converts the plain text to an array, then sends the content of the array to an Excel Online document. These flows were working perfectly until about March 29th or 30th 2024. Then, two of my flows broke. When I looked further into it, the HTML to text function is suddenly truncating part of its output and some of my data isn't included in the output. 

 

I checked out the documentation webpage for the function:  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/conversionservice/ It mentions two limits but I don't seem to be hitting either of those. Additionally, I have other flows that still work normally whose content length is even longer than the length of these two email bodies.

 

I looked around online but I can't seem to find any updates or changes made to the HTML to text function on or around March 29th or 30th.

 

Were any changes made to this function recently? Why would this function suddenly start abruptly truncating my output when it had worked previously?

 

I've also tried shrinking down my email body input into the HTML to text function even further by doing some find/replaces to remove extraneous code before sending the email body to the HTML to text function, but making the input smaller hasn't had any affect on the output. The output continues to truncate in the same place.
