What could be the cause of the inconsistent processing time of Apply to each in Power Automate?
Assumptions:
- The action in Apply to each is formatting the result of an HTTP request.
- Concurrency control is turned on for Apply to each, and the order is set to 20.
- The flow (child flow) including Apply to each is called from the parent flow in 3 parallel.
- Power Automate for Power Apps per User Plan” is applied to the owner of both the parent and child flows.
- The total number of actions in the parent and child flows is less than 2000 in total.
Occurrence:
- Some flows complete in about 10 seconds, while others do not complete even after several hours.
Verification:
- The same problem occurs even if the amount of data processed in Apply to each is reduced (the number of loops is reduced from the original 70 to 5).
- The same problem occurs even if the number of actions in Apply to each is reduced to one.
- The same problem occurs even if HTTP is deleted from the action in Apply to each.
- The problem does not occur if the “Apply to each” section is deleted.
