    Hi SAAR95 ,

    You’re not alone this is a known behavior with Gen2 Dataflows, especially for CI/CD-enabled ones.
    The workspace view doesn’t reliably show “Refreshed” or “Next refresh” for Gen2 items. This is a limitation rather than a misconfiguration on your side.

    Workarounds.

    1. Use Monitoring Hub or Run History.
      These provide the most accurate status info for Gen2 refreshes.
      Microsoft Docs – Monitoring Dataflows Gen2
    2. Email Notifications.
      Unlike Gen1, Gen2 doesn’t send failure emails by default. You’ll need to set up a Power Automate flow (or similar) to get alerts on refresh failures.

    Regards,
    Akhil.
