Any Limitations using Power BI with PostgreSQL compared with SQL Database?

I'm currently running Power BI against SQL Database, but considering migrating the database to PostgreSQL to reduce the running cost.

Are there any limitations in terms of Power BI features using PostgreSQL compared with SQL Database I should be aware of before moving on to PostgreSQL?
