MS Flow SharePoint "Grant Access" action fails with "Item does not exist"

I'm getting an error in my flow when using the Grant Access to an item or folder action to grant view access to an account on a list item. I've tested this action on a SharePoint site (comm-site) configured exactly the same (99% certain) in the same tenant and it works fine. In this instance, I have a get item action on the same ID right after it, and that action works fine. The error that I get looks like this:

"body": {
    "error": {
      "code": 502,
      "source": "flow-apim-msmanaged-na-westus2-01.azure-apim.net",
      "clientRequestId": "9f16fa13-287c-441d-9331-3e7e93a5811f",
      "message": "BadGateway",
      "innerError": {
        "status": 500,
        "message": "Item does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.\r\nclientRequestId: 9f16fa13-287c-441d-9331-3e7e93a5811f\r\nserviceRequestId: 9f16fa13-287c-441d-9331-3e7e93a5811f"
      }
    }
  }
}

Request Ids (not sure which are important):

From inner error:

From error response header:

I'm not sure if this is the sharepoint API, or graph API under the hood - but the behaviour is completely stumped me and I have no clue what is going on.

I deleted the action and re-created it. It worked fine after that.

This was likely my mistake: I had made this flow by exporting a flow from a solution ("solution-aware flow") and importing it is a regular flow. There was a dialog that said "this is for importing normal flows, to import a flow from a solution go to solutions" which I .. disregarded. The problem was likely a result of that mis-step.

Per my test, this issue happens when we try to grant access to a list item which does not exist. So make sure the list item with the ID exist in this list.

You could add a "Get item" action and use the id, check whether you could get the item with this id.
