I have set an automation to generate a PDF file at a scheduled time for a particular table. I have also set a condition to filter only the rows that I want it to generate a PDF file during the scheduled time. Before setting up the whole automation for about 4 tables, I tested one table and I checked that I should have about 47 PDF files generated. Unfortunately, only 16 PDF files have been generated. I emptied the files from the folder and tried to run the whole automation again and then it generated 15 PDF files. I was wondering if the BOT has a cooldown period to create a PDF file or if the BOT limits the amounts of files generated within the 5 minute period? I didn't even reach the maximum execution time. Is this a bug?

If I had to guess, I'd say you're running up against the 5 minute execution time limit. That, or you haven't set your condition correctly.
I see, in each PDF generated for the table I have tested, it can sometimes generate 15 and other times 17. It doesn't give me a fix number. Attached are my conditions that I have set for my automation:
Each of the process I have also set the condition where the first process will be [Priority] = "OPEN DEFECT", second, ISNOTBLANK([PE Verified 1])
@TeeSee1 Hi Tee, sorry to drag you into this, is this plausible that this might be a bug?
I really have no idea but I would check the bot log, as @Marc_Dillon says, to see if you are reaching some of the automation limits.
