Another simple flow broken - no browsers involved

Posted on by CKN 58

I have a very simple flow - all it does is wait 600 sec.

This was created and run unattended overnight because the large files other flows generate do not have time to sync on onedrive before the machine logs out. The wait flow gives onedrive time to sync all the files that have been generated.

It was working until this week - it now fails when run unattended, but works when run in attended mode.

If I adjust the time to 60 seconds, it runs unattended but anything more than that fails.

    There are no details, it shows the 'wait' action starts and runs for a short period of time (around 20 sec) then gets a status of 'cancelled'. I tried putting other actions around it (opening blank excel sheet, closing excel etc) but it makes no difference. It used to work without issue but no longer does.
