REST API - How to count calls I'm making?

Hi PBI Community

 

When using the Power BI REST Api I'm finding difficulty in knowing when I'll be hitting a limit on a call.

 

I've worked also with GraphQL, specifically Monday.com Graphql API which allows me to query the complexity of a query. Very useful in testing out the call complexity and building out sustainable calls. With the limitations in Power BI's REST Api, it's mostly trial and error.

 

Does anyone have a good idea on how to measure this beforehand to avoid watching (the dreaded) yellow dots loading in Power Query, and even more so when hitting close & apply, to then see the load fail/timeout with very little information on how to fix the issue?
