Does Dataflow evaluation stop after 10 minutes?
I created a Support ticket. I got the response I got from Microsoft is as follows:
The authoring limit on Power Query Online is 10 minutes per query. This is the reason for evaluation cancellation error during dataflow creation. We cannot increase or decrease this timeout value. Please note that there is no such timeout value for Power BI Desktop. Reference Document: Power Query Online Usage Limits | Microsoft Docs
You can consider optimizing the query or breaking the query into two to ensure that it takes less than 10 minutes each to execute. If in case, there is no way we can optimize this query. Then the only option left is to use Power BI Desktop instead of Power Query Online (dataflows)."

well thank you for the answer but now I'd like someone from MS to explain what's the use case for dataflows then.
