Hi @Idrissshatila

I am experiencing a very slow canceling problem - I was going to start a new topic (which I might do) - can I delete this report - as it is new one which I have just deployed do you think or just wait for the cancel to finish.

Thanks

@KarenL7 we're seeing the same issue too! For us it's impacting multiple capacities and multiple gateways. We see datasets stuck canceling.  I've opened a new topic, can you help by commenting there too?   Hoping someone from Microsoft sees it.  I've also opened a support request with Microsoft.

Hello! I have experienced the same situation. How long did it take to cancel the refresh? I waited an hour

Hello @tegar ,

 

yes, when you clicked the first time it proceeded to cancel, when you clicked the second time it it's already in the canceling process of the first time and that's why you received this message.
