Delayed alert from Power BI to Teams - Fabric Activator

Thanks Ibendlin. Pasting the response from Microsoft Fabric support.
It was mentioned that if there is a date/time column in the table that we created the alert on. This is a known issue, the alert may use the date/time column as the event timestamp instead of a system generated one. We have duplicate the column ans change the data type to Text and use or remove the date/time column and recreate the alert. The Alert was using the CET timestamp in UTC which created image of 3 hours delay.
Data Activator in Fabric has a built-in hourly check for trigger conditions, so it is expected for the alerts to have the delay of 1 hour to be received.

Hi @KavibharathiS 
Thank you for sharing this information it will be helpful for others in the community facing similar issues. If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to the community.

Thank you for the update.  That makes this even more unfit for production. Hope they severely reconsider their design.

There is no SLA for the real-time-ness of Activator.  But yes, three hours is a bit excessive.
