SharePoint 2010: Workflow fails to run after pause

If workflow fails while pausing for 1 minute, just increasing the pause interval might not work as a robust solution. It will only delay the pausing frequency.

It is more important to understand the scenario for pausing and cause of it. 

I haven't come across this behaviour in SPD workflows. However, I had faced exactly same behaviour incase of Nintex workflows. The pause behaved erroneously when it had to update some item in the list where its embedded. I still haven't found out root cause - but I solved the issue by increasing the pause time to 5 mins. That seemed to solve the issue. 

 

Let me know if this approach works for your scenario! 

Can you please help to understand the use of Pause in your workflow?

May be we can avoid pausing itself. 

Thankyou, I have been to this thread before. But my workflow status is not always "In Progress" it is some times completing without any errors , some times its completeing with errors.

Why this weird behaviour ?
