Hour difference between scheduled refreshed run time vs actual run time

There seems to be an hour difference between the scheduled refresh run time vs. the actual run time in Power BI Pro. Can this be fixed?

 

Thanks!

@Anonymous It is expected behaviour. When you configure a time for scheduled refresh, there can be a delay of up to one hour before it begins.

@Greg_Deckler. Thanks for the suggestion. I've reposted it there.

 

@ankitpatiraI guess I can understand a delay, even though I think if that is the case they should announce that. But I don't know think that is what's happening here. The screenshot shows two different GMT times in the same Central time zone. One has -0500 and the other has -0600. So I'm wondering if there's an error on their side.

It's possible that one time accomodates for daylights savings time and the other doesn't. Probably just a coding error on MS's end.

This is what I was thinking. Since CDT which is observed in the summer has a UTC offset of -5 and CST which is observed when we are not in day light savings has UTC offset of -6. Like you said probably a coding error.

Right, I think that the hour delay is reasonable but the thing that concerns me is the seemingly different timezones, which is odd.
