Composite Model Breaks during DirectQuery Shared Model Refresh

I have a composite model with some tables imported and some connected via DirectQuery to a shared data model (so that changes in this model are reflected). The challenge is when the Shared model (DirectQueried) refreshes the reports running off the composite model "break" during the refresh.

 

This is further magnified in that every time a model is now published there is a refresh so whenever a change is made and published to the shared data model, it refreshes and takes much longer than a normal refresh, and the composite model "breaks" during the refresh.

 

Any advice please? Is this behaviour normal?

    Note that the DQ for Power BI Datasets is still in preview, so there may be bugs.

    I would post this in the Issues - Microsoft Power BI Community forum, and be very clear with screenshots or error text what you mean by "breaks." It stops working, the tables vanish, etc. Saying something "breaks" doesn't help for troubleshooting.
