DataFlow timeouts

Hi all, I hope someone can shed some light here. It's been a week since most of our Dataflows fail to refresh with timeout, after 2 hours. It's not a database timeout issue, as someone would guess....

    Hi philosopher ,

    Engineering team have fixed the Power BI Known issue : Some Dataflow refresh fails with timeout error when enhanced compute engine is turned on for dataflow workload. Please check.

     

    Best Regards,

I have the exact same problem. My Dataflow for the "linked entities" been failing since Saturday, the Dataflow these linked entities reference from do not have any issue with the refresh.

 

The error I have been getting related to "Param1 = Execution Timeout Expired".  I have submit a support ticket hoping to get some help.

Hey jochungJE 

Please keep us posted with the progress on your support ticket, I'm getting a bit desperate here.

"Execution Timeout Expired" is our error too.

It randomly appears on various DataFlows.

I have monitored the db usage and running queries at the time of the errors, there's nothing wrong there, queries begin and end in time. Yet, the data flows continue to be 'refresh in progress' until they fail with timeout.
