Why Does PowerAutomate Flow Run For So Long after finishing

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by NPrice99 1,302

Hi

 

I have a PowerAutomate Flow which imports data from an Excel Spreadsheet into Dataverse.

 

The last record is written to dataverse after 18 minutes.  The flow continues to run for a further 32 minutes before finally finishing (status = Succeeded appearing next to the duration column which says the flow ran for 50 minutes and 27 seconds).

 

The number of records written is around 150.  The number of columns per record is around 10.

 

Why the delay of 32 minutes on a flow which stops writing after 18 minutes.

 

Thanks

 

Nigel

    There is literally no way for us to know. You should review the Run itself, so see where the time was spend and validate that you don't have extra loops or retries happening that are causing it to take that long.

     

    Thats all my crystal ball can figure out for you sorry
