Scheduled Data Refresh is Disabled, but keep receiving "Failed to refresh" error
We turned off the Scheduled Data Refresh for a report, but every morning, we keep getting a "failed to refresh" error notification. We're trying to figure out why it keeps trying refresh if it's already been turned off. Any ideas? Thanks!

I"m not sure if this is a dataflow or a dataset but I know that I have had this occur on dataflows, where I have a dataflow that had scheduled refresh enabled. I also built some Power Automate flows that were triggered by "When a dataflow refresh completes". I deleted the dataflow and did not turn off the Power Automate flow and found that it was still being triggered by the dataflow (that I deleted) completing a refresh. I recommend using the Power BI Rest API to dig further. Use it to check the refresh schedule to see if there may be a disconnect between the API and the Service UI. If so, use the API to change the refresh schedule. Just visit the links below, click Try It and follow the instructions.
