refresh failure notifications not sent

Hi,

 

In the settings menu under datasets > Scheduled Refresh it is possible to indicate which e-mail adress should receive a notification who should receive a message when a refresh fails

 

This week my colleague received a few mails from the powerbi that a scheduled refresh has been pauzed due to inactivity. 

Earlier we had encountered the same problem when a different refresh was stopped due to a bug,

In total we had 3 refreshes with issues for which we should have gotten a mailing about.

 

1) To 3 people: Colleagues A & B and Me

2) To 2 people: Colleague B and Me

3) To 2 people: Colleague B and Me

 

However the only one who received a mail of the failed refresh was the first emailadress mentioned (order was as noted above).

I have checked my spambox or every other folder in my email and I can't find any mail from powerbi.

 

Anyone else has encountered the same bug or even better knows a solution to my problem? Or what I might be doing wrong?

Why check both boxes? I don't understand the logic behind checking both boxes or is this functionality bugged?

Seems the dataset owner did get the same mail today as my colleague did earlier but this still does not explains why I never did.
