Getting Datasource Exceeded Limit while deploying PowerBI Report

[rnwg47]

I am getting the below error while deploying a Report in PowerBI. I checked the size of the dataset, the size does not exceed the 1.5 GB Limit. Can anyone please provide some suggestions?

{
  "error": {
    "code": "DMTS_PowerBIDataMovementUserDatasourceExceededLimit",
    "pbi.error": {
      "code": "DMTS_PowerBIDataMovementUserDatasourceExceededLimit",
      "parameters": {},
      "details": [],
      "exceptionCulprit": 1
    }
  }

Hi @rnwg47 , were you able to resolve this? We have ran into same issue, the application was running for a year without any issue and suddenly we have started encountering this issue.

Hi, @rnwg47 

Thanks for the reply from GilbertQ , please allow me to provide addition:

Check the complexity of your dataset, even if the dataset size is less than 1.5 GB, the complexity of your data (e.g., number of columns, relationships, and calculated columns) can sometimes cause problems.
If you're using a service principal for authentication, there might be an issue with their permissions or configuration. Some users have reported that reconfiguring the service principal or using a different service principal solves this issue.
If you're using the Power BI REST API, make sure you haven't reached any API limits. Sometimes, repeated API calls in a short period of time can trigger this error.
If you're using an on-premises data gateway, check its configuration and make sure it's up to date. Sometimes, gateway issues can cause data movement errors. You can check the following link:

Hi @rnwg47 

The PBIX size is when it is compressed, when it is actually loaded it is 3-4x larger.
