MS Outlook / new calendar event / reminder change error

Hi,

I have build flow wihich reads excel file and based on this data is adding events to outlook calendar.

Last month it worked fine, used it few times.

This month my flow dowesn't work any more: after adding first event it throws error on step in which I try to change REMINDER filed value in new event window.

To change this field I use "Populate text field in window" where it inserts into REMINDER filed value "0" (zero).
I have tried to change this value in my flow by clicking on drop down menu and selecting "0min" but it also fails after 1 successful added event.

 

Any ideas what may be wrong?

or how to add events in different way?
