Nintex Workflow for Office 365 Error - "The workflow instance was too large to persist"

Not yet. Thanks for flagging it.

Others have seen it. There's little you can change in O365, but on prem you can configure the limit.

True. There is nothing you can change about the thresholds in O365 as that would have an impact on the whole tenancy server. I'm surprised that you were able to publish the workflow, because you should've receive an error during that process and be unable to use it, but...

Anyway - the message means, you should rethink your workflow and to try to split it into smaller ones, calling each other with "Run a workflow" action.

Hi Eric,

That is odd that it is just now falling over after several months of running. Do you know if the workflow has been modified in any way recently? Would you be willing to share an export of the workflow with me via message? I am particularly interested in this for rather selfish reasons (new version of Workflow Analyzer for O365) however, I think we can probably sort this issue out at the same time.

Cheers!

Hi all!

I recently faced the same issue. Do you think this:  is also valid for your case? Do you use InfoPath Forms with the Form Libraries in your workflow?

‌ have you solved your issue? Did my suggestions help you?
