Can I add a timeout, so my app will fail if it takes longer than 10 minutes to refresh?

The title pretty much says it all.

Since it's not possible to cancel a refresh in the service, I was wondering if it's possible to add a timeout in the refresh so it can fail fast?

 

(My underlying data-source is an OData API)

Hi @alexbjorlig ,

 

For your description, I think you can open the advanced editor in power query, challenge to the M code page, and add the timeout time parameter at the location marked in the screenshot below.

[timeout=#duration(0,0,10,0)]))

For more details, you can read related document.

Power Query Web connector | Microsoft Docs

 

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and related operation screenshoots. Looking forward to your reply.


Best Regards,
Henry

I'm not concerned with a timeout a specific query, but for the general reload time of the app.
