Power Automate Common Questions

I get a lot of questions about Power Automate, and this is where I answer the ones that come up again and again. If you have hit a wall and typed your problem into a search bar, chances are someone else asked the same thing, so here you find straight answers grounded in real flows. I tackle the practical head-scratchers, like whether Power Automate can run Python scripts, how to call the Microsoft Graph API from a flow, and how to compare two SharePoint lists and find the difference between them. I also cover the limits people bump into, such as how to run a flow for more than 30 days, how to change the run history from the default 28 days, and how to stop an infinite trigger loop before it eats your quota. I also show small tricks, like how to get your flow name at runtime.
