CPU Mins calculation in Power BI premium capacity for a Power BI report scheduled refresh

[GovindPrajapat]

What is the logic behind CPU Mins calculation for a power BI report scheduled refresh?

1. One of my dataset has two tables: A and B. Table A takes 20 mins to get refreshed and table B  takes 15 Mins to get refreshed. How will be the calculation of CPU Mins?

My Assumption1:  refresh time of dataset = 20 mins so CPU Mins = 20 Mins

My Assumption2: refresh time of Table1 + refresh time of Table2 = 20 + 15 = 35 Mins so CPU Mins = 35 Mins.

Can someone please clear this confusion??

Hi @GovindPrajapat ,

Firstly, please check your Capacity and your SKU. 

As far as I know, Power BI will provide you different resource based on different SKU.

Now we are using Premium Gen2. Premium Gen2 will not limit the number of parallel refreshes we can do, but the number of Backend V cores provided to us will be different for different SKUs, and there will be a limit to the CPU processing power.
Throttling occurs when a tenant’s capacity consumes more capacity resources than it has purchased. Too much throttling can result in a degraded end-user experience.
