Adjust Report Refresh Pause After Inactivity

[rand0mdeveloper]

Hello!

In PowerBI Service, if nobody views your report for two months, then PowerBI will automatically pause the scheduled refresh. I want to know whether I can change how long PowerBI waits before pausing the refresh. For example, if I instead wanted PowerBI Service to pause the refresh after only one month of inactivity, is there a way to do that? Thank you for your help!

Hi @rand0mdeveloper,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. In Power BI Service, the scheduled refresh for a dataset will automatically pause if no one has viewed the report or dataset for 2 months. At the moment, this 2-month inactivity threshold is fixed and cannot be changed or customized as already stated by @Thomaslleblanc.

I would also take a moment to thank @Thomaslleblanc, for actively participating in the community forum and for the solutions you’ve been sharing in the community forum. Your contributions make a real difference.

If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.  

Best Regards,
Hammad.

No, there is no way to lower the threshold. It is 2 months.
