Power BI REST API - Dataflows - Disable refresh schedule error

Hi,

 

The disable refresh schedule for dataflows REST API is throwing an error. Is there any other programmable workaround to disable the refresh schedule for a specific dataflow?

 

Request (replace $(workspaceId) and $(dataflowId) with the appropriate values):

 

PATCH https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/$($workspaceId)/dataflows/$($dataflowId)/refreshSchedule

 

Post body:

 

{
  "value": {
    "enabled": false
  }
}

 

Response:

 

{
    "error": {
        "code": "InvalidRequest",
        "message": "Refresh schedule time zone id is not valid"
    }
}

 

 

Adding the "localTimeZoneId""UTC" property will throw another error:

 

{
    "error": {
        "code": "",
        "message": "An error has occurred."
    }
}

 

 

Reference to docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/dataflows/update-refresh-schedule#disable-schedul...

 

Regards,

Alex
