What is the maximum response time and how to increase it? (approval)

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello.
I am creating a flow. One of the flow elements is the approval extension. Unfortunately, it happens that the people who are supposed to answer don't answer right now. And they don't answer for 10 days. Even sometimes for 2 months they do not answer =(
I have noticed that if approval is started more than a month ago, then no further flow actions are performed, although this is not visible to the user. The user clicks on the answer from their side and nothing happens.

 

Hence the questions:
How long does a thread wait before it stops running?
Can I somehow "revoke" approval a day before the script stops accepting responses?
Can I somehow increase the waiting time to 4 months, if I am sure that the maximum number of such waitings will not exceed 100 at the same time?
