Power Automate – New desktop flow property available in Power Automate for desktop

Power Automate for desktop is introducing a new property, "Flow timeout", from June 30th, 2024. This feature allows makers to specify the maximum duration for desktop flows, thereby ensuring that flows do not run indefinitely. If a flow exceeds the specified time duration, it will be automatically timed out and halted. This prevents potential issues such as unresponsiveness in the target application due to unforeseen conditions or getting stuck in infinite loops due to flawed flow logic. Although the Flow timeout property is disabled by default, makers can easily enable it through a toggle in the Power Automate for desktop console and set the maximum duration, using a format that specifies hours, minutes, and seconds. This notice is just for awareness, and no action is currently required from users.
