Failure of automation action prevents subsequent actions from executing

Configuration

I have an automation with two actions:

  1. Call a service ‘Notifications: Send a notification with pushover’ on
  2. Call a service to turn on a light

(in that order)
Due to an 18+ hour Internet outage at my house, the notification to Pushover action failed (understandably!), but AFAICT, that prevented the second action from happening.
The obvious workaround is to change the order of those actions, which I did, and that solved the problem.
I am wondering if failing to continue executing actions after a preceeding action fails is the intended (and proper) behavior.
IDK for sure either way, I can imagine there may be important implications/reasons for doing so, but just asking the question.
