Flows now taking up to 18 hours to complete when they were taking minutes

[ivan_wilson]

One of our flows has started taking hours to complete, when it used to take a few minutes. This started happening yesterday. There are a few hundred instances of the flow in the running state. They seem to eventually complete but it can take from 1 to 18 hours. 

They are not stuck on a specific action, some show they are stuck on a variable assignment, others on a switch.

Anyone else seeing anything similar?

Hi @ivan_wilson，

Does your flow issue still exists?

Could you please share a screenshot of the configuration of your flows which would take up to 18 hours to complete?

Please share more details so we would try to provide a proper workaround for you.

Best regards,

Alice

It turns out that this was self-inflicted. One of our flows was triggering itself, causing it to kick off thousands of runs. Once we fixed the issue, the performance returned to normal
