Deployment Pipeline: Production Different From Test
Hi Whatever1 ,
When testing, you can use the same capacity as the production stage. However, this can make production unstable during load testing. To avoid unstable production, use another capacity similar in resources to the production capacity, for testing. To avoid extra costs, you can use Azure A capacities to pay only for the testing time.

We do use the same capacity for both Test and Production, but testing was complete before we deployed so that wasn't the issue.
However, the link you included had what I think is the answer. It says "The dataset refresh is required because data isn't copied from one stage to another." One of the changes was to the query for the matrix visual with the issue. The reason we couldn't see the top two levels was because the new fields didn't exist in the old dataset.
We will put it in our process to refresh the dataset after deploying if there were and changes to the dataset.
Thank You
