Same problem here. Pinging our internal REST API and Excel/PowerBI sends multiple requests. When the request is for an expensive query it effectively kills our server. We have the results set to stream so the server isn't overburdened, but when Excel/PowerBI sends a dozen requests that are abandoned, the queries are still executed and the pipes fill-up without offloading the data.
