Partition limits

Is there a limit to the number of partitions you can have in a Power BI (premium) data model? (Incremental refresh)

 

Thanks in advance!

This document does not mention any partition limits

But what you will find is that Power BI will automatically consolidate partitions the "colder"  the data gets, based on a date hierarchy (months/quarters/years).
