Just wondering if my assumption here is correct...
Running a refresh via a gateway in the PowerBI Service, to on prem/cloud sources, mitigates or reduces trying to refresh a fat RAM heavy dataset in the desktop app.
Or is this nonsense? All on PPU capacity in the service btw

That is correct when refreshing in the PBI Service the RAM is used in the PBI Service to refresh the data.
