Flow taking absurdly long to process a condition

Posted on by AnthonyPSlalom

I have a flow that takes a bunch of files in a sharepoint folder and runs them through the AI Builder form recognition. Most times it churns through hundreds of files in under an hour... but occaisionally it takes much longer than that. I was doing some digging today to see if I could figure out why.

In one of my most recent successful runs I found this weird outlier where the evaluation of a simple condition seems to have taken 22 hours? I should mention this is part of an apply to each loop and this exact same step in different iterations of the loop took only seconds.

If I am being throttled I'm NOT being given the warning banner like I should...

Re: Flow taking absurdly long to process a condition

From the issue you explained regarding the Condition taking about 22hours. I think you need to check and be sure your flow is not being throttled. Which means your flow is about to or having performance issue.

I have seen this on several occasions, and after contacting Microsoft, it was discovered that my flow is been throttled and it was running more actions than before.
