Run History is Successful but Action in Run is Showing Cancelled

I have a Start and Wait Approval action in my flow. I have it set to TimeOut at 21 days.
The approval was sent out 11/03/2025, the user responded 11/20/2025, but their response was never received. They sent us a screeshot from their end showing they did in fact approve on the 20th. When I pull up the run history, it shows the flow ran successfully, but the Start and Wait Approval just says Cancelled - no other errors. Cancelled on day 15. 
I initially thought something was wrong with the timeout duration, but I looked at my other flows and when the approval truly times out it says "ActionTimedOut. The workflow action 'Send_Approval_Request_to_Manager' timed out while waiting for webhook callback."
I tested and confirmed the users do not get a cancel option so nothing they are doing on their end. If I cancel the flow on my end, it shows cancelled not ran successfully. Not sure what else could be causing this.
What does this "Cancelled" mean?

    I see you have a parallel branche? What is on the right side of your Start and Wait for an Approval action?
     
    Have you also double checked the approval table related rows in Dataverse, might be good to inspect those as well.

     
    Happy to help out 😁

    Everything on the right side is successfull. Approval gets cancelled and consequently everything underneath.

    I noticed today that this is happening for ALL the runs where the approval is received after day 14. As far as Dataverse, we do not have the premium plan so we cannot use it.
