Hi @jmercado ,
Does that make sense? If so, kindly mark the proper reply as a solution to help others having the similar issue and close the case. If not, let me know and I'll try to help you further.

Hi @jmercado ,
Did this issue occur in Power BI Service? If so, you may upgrade the gateway to latest version. You may consider reducing the size or complexity of your dataset, or consider breaking the dataset into smaller pieces. Also you may improve the performance for the data model, see Power BI performance best practices , Power BI Performance Tips and Techniques.
Best Regards,
Amy
