    Hi jeggert,

     

    What do mean about "however, the report seems to revert back to the as-first-uploaded version of the data some time after the scheduled refresh"? Is there any error message throws out about refresh? 

     

    You can follow this article to troubleshooting the issue: Troubleshoot scheduled refresh in Power BI Report Server.

     

    Best Regards,

Another related thing we've noticed is that, when PBI RS is scaled out across multiple servers, if you set up a schedule refresh on one server, it only seems to refresh the data when users use that same server (even though all schedules are visible from each server). The other server remains unrefreshed. So even though all reports and setup are synced across the servers, they each can have different data refreshed in their models. A workaround seems to be to set up a schedule refresh for each server (for each report).

There has to be better way to sync data between scale-out Power BI report servers.

    Any Microsoft feedback on these issues?

    I am also finding the schedule refreshes to get stuck on "Refreshing..."
