Unable to schedule Usage Metrics Report refresh

I have a Power BI Desktop report I published to a Pro workspace. All of my other Pro reports I am able to schedule the refresh daily for 4 AM EST. I scheduled the refresh for this report for 4 AM but it shows the next refresh time as 11 PM today. The only difference between this report and my other reports is my other reports are sourced to our SQL Database and this one is sourced to the Usage Metrics Report generated from PBI.

 

My other reports allow me to select the timezone when setting the refresh schedule but this one does not.

Hi @Inception951 ,

 

The usage metrics report relies on that semantic model. Power BI then refreshes this semantic model daily. Although you can't change the refresh schedule, you can update the credentials that Power BI uses to refresh the usage metrics data.

 

Please refer this article -

I hope it will be helpful.

 

Thanks,
