Any issue with the tooltip when line chart showing representative data warning

Recently we faced an issue with the manual tooltip when line chart having continuous dates and crossing 3500 datapoints limit.

We have turned off "High density sampling" in the visual settings and tooltip started to work fine.

Visual still showing "i" warning of "Showing representative data"

While our tooltip (manually created) is working fine , is there any potential issue with the data shown on the tooltip or the line trend that we show in the line chart, or any chances of tooltip showing unintended results again

What does the warning mean with respect to visual and tooltip that we are showing

Can the warning be ignored if we wish to show more datapoints  on the visual?

Hi @AvinashAsks07 

We need to avoid loading the entire dataset to the client. 

Due to line chart have 3500 point limit, it is better for you to use slicer, TopN or High-density line sampling to restrict the datapoints showing in your visual.

If you don't limit the values in your line chart, it may impact your power bi performance.

We need to show data for continuous dates for which are over 2 years ,and for 7 series in a line chart.
Want to know what would be the issue if we turn off high data sampling and continue to add daily data to it

@AvinashAsks07 , can you reduce the values displayed using topN filter(Visual level TOPN and check) -https://youtu.be/QIVEFp-QiOk?t=204
