Do long-running Logic Apps cost more money?

Question

Hi,

I use Logic Apps a lot and I find it very useful. Here's my question:

If a workflow runs for several hours, will it cost more money? Referring to Azure Logic App pricing page, the running cost is based on number of triggers and actions per flow and didn't mention anything about the time.

For example, I setup a flow and it contains the "Delay" connector which makes the flow wait 10 hours before continuing execution, or an approval flow that is likely to run for several hours as it waits for approver to respond. Will these kinds of flows cost more than flows that finish in seconds?

Thanks.

Hello @Pitawat Nantamanop , apologies for the delay. As per the Pricing and billing models for Azure Logic Apps you are only billed for every execution of the triggers and actions in your workflow. For Delay connector timer there's no polling happening while delay timer is running. You only pay for one (1) billable execution for the entire duration of the wait. Same applies for other similar actions as well unless there is a polling mechanism involved you are not billed for wait duration. I hope this helps in answering your question, please let me know if there are any additional concerns. Thank you!
