Dataset`s refresh error

I'm having an error that I couldn't identify the root cause. The error is occurring at the time of automatic dataset update. This dataset has only connection with dataflows that are not having the error in the update.

Error message: "The metadata lock manager's snapshot creation was throttled due to a heavy metadata objects locking contention, please retry later."

Does anyone know what it might be?

Although premium capacity monitoring did not demonstrate excessive resource usage, the problem was in capacity. I switched to a different premium capacity and the error no longer occurred. I believe it is some limitation related to parallelism.

How are you initiating the semantic model refresh? Based on a Power automate trigger "When a dataflow refresh completes" ?
