I think you use the wrong trigger for your childflow. I guess you use „Manual triggered“ instead of „Powerapps v2“. I know this is possible but don’t do it. It causes a lot of troubles from time to time.

@Matthy79 Thanks for the reply, but I am not calling this flow from power apps , i am calling it from other automated workflows, where this child flow has some steps that are been used inside other automated flows...

If you want to create a childflow you have different options. The best way in your use case is to use the „Power Apps v2“ trigger. It doesn’t matter that you don’t have an app.

You can also use the http trigger (I wouldn’t suggest that) because it is premium.

You can also use the manual trigger like you did and I also wouldn’t suggest that because every now and than Microsoft changes something and this causes the problems you are facing right now. They will fix it but it will come back.
