Hi @Doronhn ,
Based on your description and error message, your scheduled refresh is timeout.
Please note that:
Scheduled refresh for imported datasets timeout after two hours. This timeout is increased to five hours for datasets in Premium workspaces.
If you encounter this limit, consider reducing the size or complexity of your dataset, or consider breaking the dataset into smaller pieces.
In addition, here is a document about how to optimize your model and premium capacity in details that you can refer.
Best Regards,
Yingjie Li
