Data gateway extension "cannot be added"
Hi Tim_Lamb ,
According to your description, it seems like you are working with Microsoft Azure Consumption Insights(beta), right?
In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you use Azure Cost Management connector for Power BI to instead, azure consumption insight connector features have been including in it. (I don't think power bi will add gateway datasource support for beta connectors)
Connect to Azure Cost Management in Power BI Desktop
In addition, you can also use web connector to get data from Azure Consumption Insights rest API. After you publish the report to power bi service side and update data credentials, it can be updated hourly without a gateway. (cloud datasource will update hourly)
Data refresh in Power BI#accessing-cloud-data-sources

Correct.

That's in beta as for me as well.
Additionally, we are an EA user, and although the page linked to states it's available for EA users, using our EA number as the billing ID doesn't result in a connection - Power BI Desktop states "TenantId: Failed to discover tenantsBillingAccountId: Failed to discover tenants". Previous posts https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Using-new-Azure-Cost-Management-Connector-issues-with-Account-ID/td-p/645034/page/2 indicate that advice from Microsoft advised using the Microsoft Azure Consumption Insights connector.
