Flow history not retrieving all flows #42
Description
Hi there, the number of flow runs does not match the number in Analytics. This is the same for multiple flows I've checked. For example, from the analytics you can see a few thousand flow runs over a few days, where as your tool is reporting much less. (I have no filters applied):
Am I missing something? Thanks for your tool :)

My tool is targeting the Power Automate API directly, not sure what the source is for the analytics part of the portal. Assumption from my side is that those 2 numbers should match too.

Yeah, wondering if there is an API request limit. I know the analytics is correct because my account started to get throttled the day of the increase. Is there a way to perhaps chunk the requests in batches of perhaps 500, for example? Currently, even when running your tool for a period of 2 days, the numbers are not accurate, as if there is some filter being applied or timeout. I am on a corporate device, and it's strange because when running your tool it terminates my organisation's vpn connection also. Perhaps an initial count of flow runs for the designated period would be useful, then you could check that value against what's being returned.
Also what would be absolutely amazing is if you could add the header data (Trigger Output) as a column in the output. Data could be raw, so filtering can be applied in Excel later etc. The Trigger Outputs contain a key piece of information (User who ran the flow) that I can't obtain anywhere else, beyond Microsoft's 100 limit history retrieval.
