On this document: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/limits-and-config, can someone explain what run duration and retention mean on this chart? How would we configure our flows so they run automatically indefinitely based on our triggers? Some of our flows probably wouldn’t kick off every 30 days.

@ascquestions what they mean is that you can't have a flow that takes more than 30 days to complete. For example if you have an approval in the flow, if the approver doesn't approve or reject it in the 30 days then the flow will time out and won't complete. Any data in that flow that has been stored in a variable for example will also be lost after 30 days.

@ascquestions there's no way round the 30 day limit to achieve your approval times of over a year. So you will need to consider whether multiple flows can be triggered at different points in the process to keep within this.
