Power BI Service: Kill dataset refresh

Hello,

 

Is there a way to kill/abend an in-process dataset refresh?  For instance - runaway queries or multiple instances of same dataset refresh running at the same time.

 

THanks in advance for any insights/help!

 Is there any option to kill the specific dataset refresh from the gateway?.

ex: Currently 10 datasets are refreshing and one got stuck due to some reason, so I want to kill the stuck one.  

 

Thanks

HI @Anonymous,

 

If you dataset is handling with gateway, you can try to shut up local gateway service to end up refresh process.

 

>>For instance - runaway queries or multiple instances of same dataset refresh running at the same time.

I don't think power bi will send multiple refresh request for same dataset at same time. Normally it alert you new refresh request canceled due to processing refresh operation.
