Time or data limit with dataflow?

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:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/dataflows/dataflows-features-limitations

 

 

Best Regards,
Kelly
