Process full refresh time out in Premium PBI model
Hi msft-cap ,
As a workspace administrator, you can view timeout details through the refresh history of the dataset. Dataset Refresh History Enhancements | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI
The general refresh timeout problem is caused by large semantic models. Scheduled refreshes for imported semantic models time out after two hours. This time-out is increased to five hours for semantic models in Premium workspaces.
If you encounter this limit, consider reducing the size or complexity of your semantic model, or consider refactoring the large semantic model into multiple smaller semantic models.
Some other ways to work around refresh timeout are:
1. Configure incremental refreshes for the tables in the model that need to be refreshed.Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
2. XMLA:Semantic models on a Premium capacity with the XMLA endpoint enabled for read-write support unlimited refresh operations when configured programmatically with TMSL or PowerShell.Semantic model connectivity and management with the XMLA endpoint in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
