Error Message: ApprovalSubscriptionNotAllowed 'Cannot wait on this approval in its current state.'

Hi all, I keep receiving this error message when my flow runs using Create an Approval then Wait for an Approval.  I found this information online: 'By the time the "Wait for an approval" action executed, the approval had already been completed. Only active approvals can be waited upon by this action.'  

 

Is the approver lightning fast?  I can't figure out why this happens.  Any thoughts/idea would be appreciated.
