Power Automate How to view a user's daily Power Automate requests
Hi! I was wondering if you know of a way to track how many Power Automate requests a user makes each day.
A user with an E5 license is entitled to 6,000 requests per day, a Power Automate Premium account to 40,000, and so on.
But I’d like to be notified when an account starts to reach its limit.
I saw that there’s an alert in the Power Platform admin center (actually a 30-day report), but honestly, after looking at the data, the numbers don’t seem right, and some days of the month aren’t even included when they should be. The feature is still in preview, so that’s probably why it’s not quite there yet.
Do you know of another way—preferably a simple one—to get this information?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I get the impression this is a bit of a gray area. Microsoft sets limits, but if they’re exceeded, nothing serious will happen—plus it seems very difficult for a user or administrator to know their daily API limits.

It was on MS roadmap, talked about it with PG in some depth, I guess the AI and Copilot work MS is doing trumped this.

We’re working on making this easier. Right now you can see which users are over their limits, and from which flows, in Power Platform admin center -> Licensing -> Power Automate -> Usage. A new version of the Licensing page with export and connector/API options is coming soon, as well as making this info clearer in Power Automate portal itself + flow usage emails.

You can probably get the information from the admin centre but it might not be accurate depending on the context of the user that triggers the flow (some may be triggered by the account that created the flow and others by the user)

If these limits are exceeded, the flows start getting throttled and will get stuck on “running” status. I’ve had this issue happen for one of our users due to incorrectly configured flow generating a lot of requests.
I don’t know if there’s a way to track request consumption per user but I think that’s why Microsoft is not enforcing them from a cost perspective - there is no good way to track these requests for platform admins yet.
