Help! Exceeding Iterations in a loop. Is this avoidable or do i need an apex solution?

Hello,

I have created a flow using Fast lookups and Fast Creates to try and create a "Service__c" record for every "Service_Plan__c" where the Status__c = "On Service"

I got the flow to work on a small test batch but when I step the number of records to 3000, I am getting the following error

Error element Loop_Through_Service_Plans_0 (FlowLoop).
The number of iterations exceeded

Is there any way to avoid exceeding these limits while still using flows? Or do I have to develop an apex solution?

Below is a screenshot of my flow and some information on what it does

Hi Alex,
You are hitting the flow limit.
The number of executed elements at runtime per flow is 2000. Refer this documentation: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=vpm_admin_flow_limits.htm&type=5

You should build a apex solution for your requirement.

Let me know if it helps.
Thanks!
