Issues with Rwfresh Dataset from a Power automate Flow
Orlando_Tuga Very interesting. I don't believe there are any limits in refreshing from the API the way PowerAutomate does it.
Glad it is working now though.
Perhaps there was a misconfiguration on the wait activity?

Hi Orlando_Tuga ,
I appreciate your concern and want to provide clarity. When you initiate a dataset refresh via Power Automate, it simply sends the command to Power BI to start the refresh; the flow does not monitor or wait for its completion. This is why it may appear as though the process is ongoing without finishing.
To ensure your flow continues only after the refresh is complete, you should leverage the Power BI REST APIs to check the refresh status before moving forward. Please confirm if the dataset is located in a Pro or Premium workspace, and whether the issue is with the dataset refresh not completing in the service or just the flow not stopping. This information will allow us to identify the best next steps.
Thank you,
Tejaswi.
The location is pro and the workflow does not stop, keeps running forever.
