Hi there, I tried to refresh my dataflow and when I go to the refresh history it is marked expired. Is there a refresh time limit with the dataflow? Or is it my dataflow that has reached the allowed data limit?
My dataflow was running for 3 hours. I've got the licence pro.
Thanks.
Hi @Anonymous ,
When refreshing Dataflows, timeouts in Shared are 2 hours per entity, and 3 hours per Dataflow.
Check the reference below:

Best Regards,
Kelly
