How long does Power Automate wait for a response from an adaptive card.

When you use the action 'Post an Adaptive Card to a Teams user and wait for a response' how long does Flow wait for a response until it 'Times Out'?

 

We want to do reminders but not flood the user with cards and have lots of Flows 'Running' and waiting for a response.

    Hi @Tacsi 

     

    I think it waits for until the time out on the flow run (which is 30 days) you can still set a time out on the action by navigating to the settings of the action and then use the appropriate string like PT1H that means time out in 1 hour and proceed with the next actions. 

     

    Hope this helps!

    Hi @Tacsi,

     

    The wait for a response should be a pending step, after 30 days, any pending steps time-out.

    You could check this doc to know more limitation for Flow:
