I'm running across a few pause notifications, and it seems our use-case for these data sets are normally accesed via the desktop-app and not via the power-BI website.  Does a pause mean there has been no activity by the desktop-App, or only by the website?  The documentation says after two months of inactivity, but I'm unsure if that is via the website, the desktop app, or both and need to confirm?

@wagnerap Inactivity in the Service. They don't want to keep refreshing or consuming resources on datasets/reports that no one is using.
