Your flow is running too many actions, suggestions to reduce actions

Posted on by raoraheel

I create a flow to monitor a number sequence table in D365 on multiple environments and then do some calculation on it. If I count approximate records in total for all environments, the number is around 2000 records which then goes through calculation for each record retrieved. I am getting these alerts on it now that i'm consuming 80% of my daily total request limit by just this one flow.

1. Is each compose that I have in this flow counts as a request? If i do that math, I have four of such so 4x2000=8000 does sound like it.

2. Any suggestions how I can reduce these actions? I cannot reduce the records that I have to do the calculation for but wondering how I am calculating maybe changed.

I'm still below overall 10000 of my limit but I do plan to add few more which may cause an issue then. Appreciate any feedback any one has for me.

Thanks,
Raheel

You probably have the Power Automate for Office 365 license. You'll need to upgrade to the Power Automate Per User Plan. It offers:

Power Automate Per User Plan:

Flow Runs: Users with this plan enjoy unlimited flow runs within the service limits.

Limit: While there is no daily limit, certain service limits apply (e.g., maximum execution time, frequency, and resource usage).

Example: You can create and run as many flows as needed without worrying about daily quotas

Hi @raoraheel

If you are just doing data transformation, I reckon you could greatly improve the efficiency if you can share more details. For example, watch this video demonstrating how you can use Select and XPATH to transform complex arrays https://youtu.be/afqvGAb20Dw. I see you are initializing a variable and appending, each action and each iteration of that action counts as an api call. A seeded license has a 6,000 api call limit in a 24 hour period Requests limits and allocations - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn and as mentioned previously, the per user / premium is 40,000.

If you want to share more detail about what you're doing I might be able to suggest some ideas.

Cheers,

Damien
