Turn off Retry or extend Timeout

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ConfusedPowerAp 10

I have a flow that is triggered by a Power App the other day it it ran 3 times and two of the times it failed.  It looks like it failed on communicating with PowerApps with a 504 Gateway Timeout.  If I set the "Retry Policy" (only available on the first step) to None will that stop the app from re-running?  Also how can I extend the time of for the time out?  I see it uses "Specify duration in ISO 8601 format." but a google search did not turn up anything helpful for this format.  I am also a little confused on what the default timeout is set to since I have read it is 30 days and also 120 seconds.

    HTTP 504 error is a Gateway Timeout error, it means that one server did not receive a timely response from another server.

     

    Currently in Power Apps, there is a limitation in the timeout of a single outgoing request.

     

    The maximum value of Timeout is 180 seconds. Please check the following article for more details:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/limits-and-config#request-limits

     

    Now for retry policy, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/logic-apps-exception-handling#exponential-interval

     

    Also have a look at link https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Retry-Policy-Exponential-Interval-Explanation/m-p/388273/highlight/true#M44003

     

    I hope this helps.
