Timeout time for "import" connection
We are planning to import about 5GB of data into Power BI Desktop and assume it will take about 90 minutes due to poor network performance.
Do you know the timeout time for importing data in Power BI Desktop?

You can change the setting in Datasource properties under "Advanced options"

I did not know there was a setting. I will set it up in enough time.
Thank you very much for your help.

yasuo to my knowledge there is not a "timeout" for importing data, in the Desktop. I have refreshes that have run that long with no issues.
However, do note that if you plan to schedule a refresh from the Service at some point in the future, there is a 2-hour timeout limit in Pro capacity.- yasuoRegular Visitor
Thanks for the reply.
It's good to know the fact that it's importing without any problems.
I don't plan to use the service, but if I do, I will be careful.
