I am attempting to export reports for multiple clients with each multiple parameters to pdf using the PowerBIRestMethod PowerShell command.
I first loop through the clients and then for each client I try to update the parameter and export the report.
The problem is that after about 30 parameter updates I get the following error:
Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod : One or more errors occurred. ({
"code": "ActivityLimitReached",
"message": "UpdateDatasetParameters on xxx-xxxx-xxx throttled"
})
I tried upgrading the Premium SKU but this has not changed anything.
Does anyone know what the limits of this API/the Premium SKU is?
There does not seem to be any documentation on this limitation.
Solved! Go to Solution.
It clearly states here Power BI Premium capacity load, overload, and autoscale - Power BI | Microsoft Learn that your requests will be treated as second class citizens.
See the limitations section. Export Power BI embedded analytics reports API - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
It does not mention anything about a maximum amount of parameter updates in the documentation for the API call: Update Parameters In Group
It is also not an issue with exceeding the maximum amount of refreshes in a day (seeing as though it needs to refresh the semantic model after every parameter update API call) because the error specifically happens when I try to update the parameter; not when I try to refresh the semantic model afterwards.
In the linked documentation I also find no potential issues that my export script would run into.
It clearly states here Power BI Premium capacity load, overload, and autoscale - Power BI | Microsoft Learn that your requests will be treated as second class citizens.
