Question

A retail company runs a Microsoft Power Automate flow that notifies customers when their orders are shipped. The flow runs under a service account that experienced much higher API transection volumes over the last 12 hours due to a sales promotion. An administrator reports that the flow is often delayed and sometimes fails to send the customer notification. You need to validate the platform limit the flow is encountering. Which platform limit is disrupting the flow?

Explanation

Power Platform, Power Apps, Dataverse, Service protection API limits To ensure consistent availability and performance for everyone, we apply some limits to how APIs are used. These limits are designed to detect when client applications are making extraordinary demands on server resources. These limits shouldn't affect normal users of interactive clients. Only client applications that perform extraordinary volume of API requests should be affected. These limits provide a level of protection from random and unexpected surges in request volumes that threaten the availability and performance characteristics of the Microsoft Dataverse platform. When a client application makes extraordinarily demanding requests, the Dataverse follows the common pattern for online services. We return an error indicating that too many requests were With the Web API, we return a 429 Too Many Requests error. With the Dataverse SDK for .NET, you get an OrganizationServiceFault error with one of three specific error codes. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/api-limits
