The business I'm primarily doing work for uses Tableau Online. I've been told that only one Flow can run at a time. Sometime last week someone else must have created some massive flow because now the Flows I maintain aren't starting until sometimes as late as 4 hours after they were scheduled.
To satisfy my curiosity can someone provide some color on why Flows cannot be run concurrently? Is this a subscription/package feature that can be upgraded? For a good sized international business with many different creators in different time zones it has started to become a pretty intractable problem. Teams have built daily processes around dashboards and people rely on subscription e-mails first thing in the morning to be providing updated data from the day prior.

Well, if you are using Tableau Cloud flows can run concurrently if you have more than 1 resource block (3000 USD/year/resource block). So if you have only one resource block, you can only run 1 flow at a time.

If this post resolves the question, would you be so kind to "Select as Best"?. This will help other users find the same answer/resolution and help community keep track of answered questions. Thank you.
