Different Refresh datetime

Good day Guys!
              I just want to ask why is that the refresh datetime in Powerbi Desktop is different in Scheduled refresh in dashboard?
For example this is my refresh datetime on Desktop manual refresh vs schedule refresh, the time in schedule refresh date is not exact in time setup, like it was AM instead of PM, all is set in same TIMEZONE.
REFRESH (MANUAL IN PBI DESKTOP)REFRESH (MANUAL IN PBI DESKTOP) - manual refresh in pbi desktop
REFRESH ( SCHEDULED REFRESH)REFRESH ( SCHEDULED REFRESH)- scheduled refreshrefresh schedule.PNG


Want to know why is that? Thanks in advance!

Hi, @RanHo 

This is a situation that may be encountered when refreshing.

Based on my research, it turns out that the start time for schedule refresh shown on the refresh history is not exact time the refresh started. It's the time that Power BI started to prepare for the refresh, and that's why additional requests are sent(for preparation)

 

A more detailed explanation is in the thread below:

@RanHo , Desktop shows timezone based on Machine setting, and Service can show based on Browser setting.

I still doubt the issue is there only
