Error on scheduled refresh

Hi JoséLisboa ,

The standard timeout refresh is 2 hours.  So, this is probably a system thing.  This can be changed - if you purchase a Premium workspace or Premium capacity.  If that is not an option. then you can reduce the query.  Perhaps break it into multiple queries or you can use the Performance Analyzer to see if your query has some ineffeciencies.

your solution is great, @collinq .

Hi JoséLisboa , based on the reply already given, I will give a more specific description , and I would like to share it for reference:

As it says in the link, Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn, the maximum refresh time is 2 hours in shared capacity and up to 5 hours in premium capacity, and you can also bypass the five hour limit with XMLA endpoint. At the bottom of the link just given you provide the best practices of refresh, such as: Schedule your refreshes for less busy times, especially if your semantic models are on Power BI Premium. If you distribute the refresh cycles for your semantic models across a broader time window, you can help to avoid peaks that might otherwise overtax available resources.  consider using DirectQuery/LiveConnect mode instead of Import mode if the increased load at the source and the impact on query performance are acceptable

Given that you're refreshing in shared capacity, you can consider reducing the size or complexity of your semantic model, or consider refactoring the large semantic model into multiple smaller semantic models. Optimize your semantic models to include only those tables and columns that your reports and dashboards use.
