timed out error message as response from the Get Export To File Status In Group

I'm getting the below error while exporting power BI paginated report thru API

ExportErrorTO(code=PaginatedReportTimeoutError, message=RootActivityId(953298f7-aad9-4f08-8807-e2f0579db13d): The export has timed out)

 

The report I'm trying to export has huge volume of data around 900k records

Below are the steps I followed

----------------------

I have submitted the export using below API

POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/ExportTo 

It gave me the "Export ID"

I have used below API which to check the Export status in every 5mins and it showed me "Running" every time and after 1 hr it showed me "Timed out error" and looks like it has the limitation 1 hr.

OK, what is your question?

I'm getting timed out error for the reports which has the huge volume of data from the "Export to File" API.

Please let me know any idea how can I export the paginated report which has the huge volume of data thru Export api or any other options to deal with the Power BI exports from spring boot rest application in the pdf format.

 

Reduce the complexity of your report. Decrease the volume.  Focus on providing insights, not on producing reports that are so big that nobody will ever go through them.
