Error : evaluation reached the allowed cache size limit, try increasing the allowed cache size

[Javierco]

Getting this error when trying to refresh the dataset in powerbi service : "evaluation reached the allowed cache size limit, try increasing the allowed cache size"

Dataset refresh was working fine until a few days ago.

Already increased cache size limit in desktop to 16000MB with no success.

I'd appreciate your help with this

Hi @Javierco ,

Try to increase the Maximum allowed (MB).

Cache Size for Power BI Desktop

It's good practice that before you schedule the report, you validate the complete dataset. One additional help for this, especially in the cases of larger datasets retrieved from the API, is to increase the cache limits. This increase can improve PowerBI's performance and stability. To configure this:

1. Click Settings->Options->Global->Data Load to expose the "Data Cache Management Options".
2. Try increasing the Maximum allowed (MB):to 16000 (or about double what the current setting is).

Best regards.
