Hi cassidy 

 

Yeah sometimes what happens is that there might be challenges and issues in the background which we are not aware of. I would suggest seeing if it is still like this in a few days time?

 

Hopefully it should resolve itself. I have seen things auto resolve in the past!

The refreshes walked themselves back down from 3 hours to 1 hour without me doing anything

To your point, sometimes these things "fix" themselves.  It's one of the unfortunate sides of Power BI in that the Admin side is very "light", so much is being done that cannot be seen.  I don't doubt there was an important reason my Dataset tripled in refresh time...but why?  How am I supposed to explain these instances to our Users?

Not expecting an answer, just calling it out

    Hi cassidy 

     

    Yeah this can happen from time to time, but it should not be very often.
