Get File content - OUTPUT too long - then Create file fails with error "MaxRequestCountReached"

[santino1810]

Hi,

I have a flow that collects the attachments from one Sharepoint list and move it to another List.

The file is usually a Word Doc (size 500KB approx)

The flow gets the file content and create a new file on a Sharepoint folder.

This seems to work, I can see and open the new file from the folder but the process takes 2 hours and on this step, fails with this error:

MaxRequestCountReached. The maximum number of requests allowed '1000' was not sufficient to upload the entire content. Uploaded content length: '537130'. Total content length: '537594'.

It doesn't always fail. When it does, I notice that the outputs from "Get file content IKEv2" is bigger.

Any workarounds please?

Many thanks!

Hi there,

I think I found a workaround. You need to convert the content from "Get file content" from base64 to binary.

Do this in a Compose before you create the new file and use the Compose outputs as the file content:

base64ToBinary(body('Get_file_content_2')?['$content'])
