    The Power Automate for 365 License is the free license. You would need the Power automate per flow or per user license.

    Just realized that I have the Power Automate for 365 License.

    @byrdman0806 That explains it, your flows are more than likely getting throttled. The free license has the least number of allowed actions per 24hrs. this is across all the flows owned by your user account. For flows with a lot of action calls/ request, it is recommended to use one of the Paid Power automate licenses.

     

    See documentations on limits below

    @byrdman0806 There are a bunch of reasons why the flows could be running slow and never completing. One is possible throttling, based on the type of license you have there is a limit to the number of actions all your flows can execute within 24hrs. do you know what Power automate license is assigned to your user account?

     

    Also, having so many Apply to each loops can be an issue and the flow might be stuck in a loop. Let me know what licenses you have and we'll go from there.
