"Copy folder" action taking increasingly longer amount of time.

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue with a flow that is becoming worse and worse, I was wondering if any of you have ever experienced a similar issue or have a solution.

 

The problem is that one of my flows uses the "copy folder" action, this action took around 12 sec to execute before:

However, ever since the 10th of March the action had been taking an increasing amount of time to execute:

Currently the flow takes over 5hrs to execute, previously it took only 2 min, each of the "copy folder" actions is now taking 28 min to execute:

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

 

Thanks a lot!

    Hi @Dmathew12 ,

     

    You can save as copy flow and test it manually. If copy flow run time as same as this flow , maybe the flow really takes that time.

    In other way, does your flow action is dealing with more and more files or list items ?

    Hi @DukeChen ,

     

    Thank you for your response, for some strange reason the flow started running normally again:

    I think your suggestion for saving the flow and running that version of it would have been great to try.

     

    And as for the amount of files moved, they were always the same and that almost never changed.

     

    Kind regards,

    DM
