Long scheduled refresh wait with Pro
Hi StevenVDP
For what it's worth, I think you've identfied your problem. This is the "noisy neighbour" scenario and your Pro licence is probably waiting in a queue for its refresh. Especially if you find that moving to PPU speeds the process up (provided you have made no other changes) it seems clear that the culprit is the Pro licence.
In this scenario I'd try changing the time of the refresh, to see of refreshing earlier or later in the day is faster. Moving refresh to 7:30am may actually get your data refresh done by 8:00am. But on the other hand - why worry ? provided the refresh gets done eventually, you can shift the timeings around to cope and there's no real problem.
Hope this helps

Hi StevenVDP ,
Agree with Burningsuit .
Premium Per User (PPU) is a new way to license premium features on a per-user basis, and includes all Power BI Pro license capabilities, along with features like paginated reports, AI, and other capabilities that previously were only available with a Premium capacity. With a PPU license, you do not need a separate Power BI Pro license, as all Pro license capabilities are included in PPU.
Refreshes, like queries, require the model be loaded into memory. If there is insufficient memory, the Power BI service will attempt to evict inactive models, and if this isn't possible (as all models are active), the refresh job is queued. Refreshes are typically CPU-intensive, even more so than queries.
