    Hi PBI_2K26 ,

     

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

     

    Based on your issue there are few debug steps which you can try and reslove your issue.

    • Network latency between the Power BI client/service and the Snowflake environment.
    • Snowflake connector or driver version (ensure the latest Power BI Desktop version is being used).
    • Authentication method (OAuth, SSO, external browser authentication, etc.), as repeated authentication or token validation can introduce delays.
    • Gateway performance, if Power BI Service is using an On-premises Data Gateway.
    • Proxy, firewall, VPN, or SSL inspection that may be affecting communication between Power BI and Snowflake.
    • Metadata retrieval from Snowflake. Sometimes loading the list of databases, schemas, and tables can be slower than the actual query execution.
    • Check whether the issue occurs across different networks or machines to rule out a client-specific or network-specific problem

    Thanks,

    Chaithanya.

    Hello community,

     

    Thank you all.

    The issue was not resolved, but probably as most of you said, It could be a Network (VPN) issue.

    Thank you.
