Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

 

I'm wondering why below cancellation email has been generated even though user/approver did not do anything.

That approval has been delaying 2 month but i have no clue any logic involved automate cancellation on power automate function on it.

Please help me to find cause.

    Limit for Approval time out step is 30 days

    Please check this article if you need to develop something that overrides this problem which means start another approval after timeout of the first approval

    Then is there any possible to extend timeout period instead of 30days?

    I do not believe so because it is stated explicitly that the maximum is 30 days.
