Timeout Refresh Error

Hi,

 

I see many topics about this issue but i haven't found what is the default timeout configured in powerbi for a database.

I have a SP (it give us a table) that i need to load in the PowerBI that normally take 45-60min in SQL (but it runs every time) and when i tried in the PowerBI sometimes run and other times not run with the timeout error.

In the next url i can reed that by default the timeout is set to 10min, is it right?

if i dont put any number in the powerbi, the timeout is configured as default (10min as the web)? or if it is maximum number? or i need to put 0 to have maximun time of timeout or i need to put 120min?

Can someone help me on this?

 

Thanks a lot!

Default number if you put nothing = 10min

I have used 120min (i prefer this than a max number that could produce block the database).
