Hi ThuJa23 ,
In the course of our investigation, we found a similar thread. OP solved this problem in several ways.
- Set Privacy Level to Organizational. Make sure you have the same privacy level security in both Power BI Service and Power BI Desktop.
- Made sure all reports are refreshed at different times
- Created another on-premise gateway to split the load
- Created database tables rather than views to reduce processing between PowerBI and MSSQL
- Ensured both desktop and gateway has the latest version installed at all times
For more information, you may refer to:
