What is the maximum recommended size for working with a file from power bi desktop (.pbix) both on my machine as the portal?
I have applications with less than 100 mb and more than 500 mb

Hi vitexo87,

Firstly, 250MB is a previous limit which is for the data model within a .pbix file. According to this blog, the limit has been increased to 1 GB.

Secondly, agree with Baskar, there is no restriction on how large a pbix file can be locally. However, when you publish a pbix file over 1GB to Power BI Service, you will get a file size limit message. And in the case that your pbix file is less than 1GB when importing it to Power BI service, but the data model grows beyond 1 GB after a period of time, you will get a message when refreshing the dataset.

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang
