Dataflow Gen1 refresh errors

Anyone else experiencing severe refresh errors on Gen1 dataflows today?

Alternating error messages like:
"Error: PipelineException: Container unexpectedly exited. Exit code: 0xC000012D
or 
"Error: Evaluation resulted in a stack overflow and cannot continue"
or
"Error: PipelineException: Container exited unexpectedly with code 0x0000DEAD"

Identical dataflow refreshes fine in a premium capacity.

Hi @ImkeF ,

Regarding your question, you were able to successfully refresh the dataflow before today, right? Did you use functions such as 'Table.Pivot()', 'List.Distinct()' in your M code that cannot be folded to the source? This will greatly increase the memory consumption. At the same time, you mentioned that the same dataflow refreshes normally in the premium capacity, but fails to refresh in the shared capacity. This may be the reason for the refresh failure, because the computing power in the shared capacity is not exclusive to you.

 

Best Regards,
