The flow used to run perfectly until 10July2020 recently...anyone having the same issue?

My flow was to detect .xls file when new email arrive, create file and rename it.

    Hey Iktam,

    I'm having the same issues - the renamed file stopped working just around 11 AM on the 10th of July 2020.

    It gives me an API error. Hopefully,Microsoft will respond to this asap.

    I am experiencing the same error with "Move or Rename a File using Path."  Also started on Friday July 11 - after successfully running for over 2 years on a set of 40+ flows I use.  I created a support case.  You should too.

     

    I also looked for and found post by others who have reported this issue in the past, but I did not see any responses with solutions that I could take any action on.  In the most prominent one, the resolution stated, it just started working again - which implies MS fixed something on their side rather than it being a problem with the user's Flow.

     

    I guess the silver lining is it's not just me experiencing this issue - hopefully others are reporting the issue too and it can be resolved.

    Hi @rjones,

    I'm having the exact same issues and it's creating big problems in almost all of our automations.

    Where on the specific flow can I report this error / case? I'm probably not looking in the right place but I can't find it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @acsaelvey ,

     

    I went to the question mark in the upper right corner, and from there selected Support, and then from there scroll down the page a bit and select "Contact Support" to then create a case. 

     

    Or - go here: https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/support?newTicket&product=Flow

     

    Best regards,

    Reed

    Looks like the problem has been resolved. Anyone else still the rename error?

    Thanks everyone, maybe we got their attention to this issue.

    All of my Flows using this method also started working yesterday and again today.

     

    For future reference: In my case, Microsoft Support reached out to get a recording of the network traffic as the Flow failed.  They confirmed before they diagnosed the issue, the Flows began to work, so another party at Microsoft must have been working on it and fixed it.
