Upgrade Loop Execution Count in Jira Automation

Question

Hi,

I have a rule which I have to run multiple times like recursion or for loop, but this rule runs only 10 times then breaks with the error LOOP, Execution limit exceed to 10.

Is there any other way that I can increase the Execution limit count and or self stop the rule on count 10?.

Hi @Muhammad Moazzam Hassan

Adding to Aron's answer...

That is a built-in limit for the automation engine, which you may learn about here: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/automation-service-limits/

Based on the name of your automation rule, I suspect it is trying to make a cascading change to a date field.  If that is the case, consider splitting the rule to operate at pairs of issue type levels in the hierarchy, breaking the need for a loop (i.e., self-triggering rule).

If you want more information about options to change the rule approach, please post an image of your complete automation rule, images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches, an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and explain what is not working as expected.  Those will provide context for the community to offer ideas.  Thanks!

Kind regards,
Bill

I don't think it is possible to lift that limit.

What I'd suggest instead is re-thinking your solution. Maybe you can implement that by breaking the iterative approach to multiple rules, or something that scales better.
