Inconsistent "billable action" reporting on flows

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

My team has created a flow to move files from one site to another. The flow is scheduled 3x daily. Over the weekend 4/23-4/23, the flow ran 3x each day.  No files actually existed on the site. The flow history shows that all 6 runs executed exactly the same.  

Yet... the site statistics reported that the flow ran 45 billable actions on Saturday, and 68 billable actions on Sunday. How is this possible? Are there phantom actions being run under the hood "occasionally" ?? As a former programmer, I would've thought that there was an unexpected condition on Sunday that caused one or more of the runs to run slightly differently. But... there is no such evidence. Every loop ran exactly the same number of times, the execution path was identical.

 

So.... anyone got a MATHEMATICAL way of determining how many actions a flow might perform? I'm trying to determine whether the process we're creating is viable, given the 100K daily limit per my license.
