Power Automate Flow Turned Off Automatically

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

1. 1. Find out why and turn it back on

   Copy steps
   1. Open the flow Details page and check the status
   2. Open run history to find the failing action
   3. Fix the root cause, then turn the flow on
   4. Check connection health under Connections
   Did this fix it? Yes No

2. 2. Avoid the inactivity shutoff

   Copy steps
   1. Owners and co-owners get a notice 30 days before suspension, turn the flow back on
   2. Flows owned by premium license holders or with a Process license are not suspended for inactivity
   3. Users report that simply re-enabling does not reset the timer, so the flow needs real trigger activity
   Did this fix it? Yes No

3. 3. Avoid throttle and failure shutoffs

   Copy steps
   1. Lower concurrency and reduce actions
   2. Assign a Process license to give a throttled flow dedicated capacity
   3. Add failure notification branches
   Did this fix it? Yes No
