How to counting API calls

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 9

I am using Power Automate within Office 365 licences.

Power Apps and Power Automate API calling limit is 2,000 per user per day.
This limits including both of them.

I would like to know, how to count api calls when flow is executed in below.

 

Convert Timezone(~~タイムゾーンの変換), If statement(~~判定) and Exit(終了) actions is not counting.  (Is this correct?)

Item update(項目の更新), Send Mail (V2)(~~メールの送信) and Start and Start and wait for an approval(開始して承認を待機) actions is counting as 3 API Calls. (Is this also correct?)

3 API calls will be counted as User A's API Call Conut. (Is this also correct?)

    Hi @rk_401 ,

     

    Below is the definition of API request in Flow:

    All API requests to connectors, HTTP actions, and built-in actions from initializing variables to a simple compose action. Both succeeded and failed actions count towards these limits. Additionally, retries and additional requests from pagination count as action executions as well.

    Hence, each action counts as an API request,  except all the internal steps, e.g. apply to each, condition, terminate... (reference from MS support, not explicitly stated in the documentation)

     

    Hope this helps.
    Sik

    To clarify, does that mean that if I open a file and load each row into a SharePoint list that it is only 2 API calls or does each row of data count as an API call to load to SharePoint?
