Scheduled Refresh on Dataset doesn't start specified time

Hello,

 

Can someone shed a light on why dataset scheduled refreshes do not start at the specified time in the settings? It usually starts between 5min, 15min after that the specified time. Why is this happening?

 

Thank you.

 

Best regards,

André

Hi @afbraga66 


This is because it is a shared environment they will start around about the time it is scheduled to run. If you want it to run exactly when you want, you can use Power Automate to do this?
