I have duplicated a workflow to reprocess items.

The original wf assigns several groups with permissions.

The duplicated wf assigns two users but no groups.

How can we troubleshoot / fix this?

>

The Workflow history shows
“Too many requests has been sent in a given amount of time, it exceeds the throttling or usage limits in SharePoint Online. Please try again later.”

This was not happening before.

Hi @WP-CRD 

This is a SharePoint Online issue.

Pls read the following article - Avoid getting throttled or blocked in SharePoint Online

Just note that “permission resource operations” use 5 “resource units per request”. This will quickly hit the limits for request calls. 

 


Thanks for the remark.
What I don't understand is why the throttling mechanism is only causing problems on the copied workflow and not also on the original.

The only thing I modified was the having the wf after the value in a no/yes column changes to yes instead of starting on item creation.


Check if multiple workflows being triggered based on the new workflow start conditions.

 

Start workflow on item creation only triggers the workflow once,
Start workflow on value in column may trigger multiple occurrences of the workflow.

 

There is also the possibility that you are doing your development / testing during peak times. Consider doing development on off-peak or low-peak times
