UTCNow() not updating on a flow no matter how many times I run it

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

For some reason, the UTCNow() function does not update correctly within my PowerAutomate flow. it always just remains constant at 19:03, regardless of what time I actually run the flow. Does anyone know what could be the cause? I have already converted it to my local time using an expression. The formula I use is

convertTimeZone(utcNow(),'UTC','South Africa Standard Time','yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM')

As you can see by the screenshots, it doesn't matter what time I run the flow, the time remains at 19:03.

The problem is in your format string. "MM" is the month number, which is why the minutes are stuck at 03. YOur code should be this if you want the time in 24 hour format. If you want 12 hour format the hours should be "hh"

convertTimeZone(utcNow(),'UTC','South Africa Standard Time','yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm')
