Switch OFF the Flow ( the running flow )
Switch ON after 6 hours

You disable the flow thas supposed to re-enable the flow ?

add a yes/no variable that gets set to yes in the morning. when flow has switched, change the variable to no.

In the flow add a check that the variable is set to yes:

Install the Chronograph app.

Between the start of your flow and the following stuff insert a ‘Timer is running’ And card. If it’s running, do nothing. If it’s not running link to a ‘Start or replace timer’ When card set to 12 hours, and then do the stuff that your flow does.

BTW, Chronograph timers survive system restarts

Yes, that works, the entry (trigger) of the flow will be disabled, but what is inside the flow will be executed.

Oh, nice to know. So you don’t ‘kill’ a flow just prevent it from triggering.
