PowerBI report filter error: Heavy usage - Try again soon

I am a premium per user. For 2 days I have been facing this type of erro while filtering any visuals from the report in the web. 

 

So when I select any bar or slicer or apply any slicer selection, some of the charts get updated at once but others don't. It takes too much time but in the end it shows this  message-

 However, I have been using this type of DAX calculation in my report for the past 5 months. I haven't seen anything like this. My data volume is also not very much, below 100k. Also, this problem appears in almost all of my reports only when published to the web, not in my Powerbi web versions. 

 

Also when I open the published link in a browser and apply filter on the report it shows - 

 

Status Code: 429 Too Many Requests

 

This problem does not appear all day. So I just wanted to know is there anything going on microsoft powerBI report? Or I am missing something?

Hi @InsightCortana -The "Heavy usage - try again soon" error message you are encountering typically occurs when too many requests are sent to the Power BI Service or when system resources allocated to the Power BI session are exceeded. Since you are using Power BI Premium Per User, this can sometimes happen during peak usage times.

 

Review your DAX expressions and try simplifying or optimizing them by reducing nested functions or utilizing more efficient alternatives like SUMX, CALCULATETABLE, or measures that aggregate at the desired level of granularity.

 

As a Premium Per User (PPU) customer, your workspace is allocated certain capacity and resources. If these limits are being reached, you may face this issue. Check your PPU capacity usage by going to the Power BI Admin Portal > Capacity settings > Metrics. If your capacity is being overused, it may lead to such errors.

  • Open the Power BI report in Incognito Mode in your browser or clear your browser cache. Sometimes cache issues can slow down the report or cause loading issues.

If the error persists for longer durations, consider reaching out to Microsoft Power BI support with detailed logs, including the error codes, to identify any specific issues tied to your Premium Per User capacity or workspace setup.
