    Hi, JohnHedges 

    This is usually related to the connection mode of your report.

    If you are currently using import mode, data is cached in power bi service  and the risk of performance issues is probably very low. If you are using DirectQuery and a large number of users are accessing the report online at the same time, there will inevitably be some performance issues, as the data query of the report happens every time a user interacts with the visualization, which consumes a lot of resources.

     

    Therefore, in addition to using premium capacity to expand resources, it is recommended to use the import connection mode to create reports, and try to access data reports during off-peak hours.

Thanks for the response. 

 

At the risk of looking daft, how can I tell what connection mode I'm using?

 

Thanks 🙂

Hi， JohnHedges 

What data source and connection mode are you using when creating reports in Power BI Desktop?
