Dataflows Never Finish Refreshing

As of this morning all of our dataflows are failing to finish their scheduled refreshes.  We don't get any error messages; they just continue to run indefinitely.  We have some dataflows that typically take under a minute to refresh, and even those just continue to spin forever.  It looks like the problem may have started around 2:00 or 3:00am (Central Time) based on what I'm seeing on the refresh history of our dataflows that run frequently.  

 

Anyone else running into this?

This seems related to the Awareness issue MS has posted on the Power BI support site.  They basically state that some dataflows are experiencing long refresh times, and one of the suggested fixes is to remove the workspace from Premium Capacity and then re-add it.  Surprisingly, that fixed my problem right away.  

 

Hopefully that solution helps someone else who runs into this issue as it's not intitutive at all why that would fix dataflows refreshing indefinitely.
