How long can a NAC workflow be open

Hello,

I recently heard that PowerApps workflows can remain active for only 30 days. I am not sure if this is true or not, but it got me thinking about NAC.  Is there a limit to the amount of time an NAC workflow can remain in process before ending (either by completion, failure, termination, etc.)?

We have some workflows that may remain in process for 2+ years.

Here’s a link to the Nintex Automation Cloud Limits documentation: Limits (nintex.com)

Thank you.  What is done if the workflow needs to run for longer than a year?  Does anyone else have this problem?  Can anyone share how they handle this?

@SShaffer2

This is the basic idea
You can plan to break your workflow into multiple workflows go get around this 1 year limitation
Workflow 1 → Workflow 2 → Workflow 3 → Workflow 4.

 

EXAMPLE:

Once Workflow 1 (9 months) completes, it will call Workflow 2 (and workflow 1 ends)… and so on

If Workflow 1 (after 360 days) hasn’t complete, it should call Workflow 1 again (and the origin workflow 1 ends)

 

As stated, you require planning for your workflow to persist for 2+ years
