Data Refresh Error: Request Entity Too Large

I have a data model that connects to an Azure SQL database.  There are 4 tables that total ~70,000 rows.  The refresh works fine in Power BI desktop but when I try to manually refresh the data in app.powerbi.com or when the data set tries to refresh from a scheduled refresh, the refresh fails with the error "Request Entity Too Large".

 

Here is the full refresh message:

Processing error:Request Entity Too Large

Cluster URI:WABI-WEST-US-redirect.analysis.windows.net

Activity ID:c3e234a4-395f-4658-8747-3ea7d526c419

Has anyone seen this error and found a solution for it?

I've seen this error pop-up a few times on the community forums. For example here:

http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Request-entity-too-large/td-p/20451

 

You might reach out to the individuals on that thread and see if they found a resolution. Your other option is to go to https://support.powerbi.com and use the Contact support link to open a support ticket.
