PBI Service Dataset Refresh Hanging for Hours

This has been a longstanding, intermittent problem that has become a critical issue as of late. Many times, simply performing a manual dataset refresh takes hours for the same dataset that typically takes seconds. The source type (e.g. SQL, D365, etc.) does not seem to matter because it appears to occur regardless.

The most critical aspect of this issue is the user's inability to manually stop a running refresh. Instead, the user is forced to wait until it finishes, which many times takes hours.

Please advise.

Hi @dharland ,

 

Does the dataset refresh hang frequently? Is the refresh finished finally? You can go to the Refresh History to find the record for the unusual refresh, find if there is any detail error message. 

 

For your requirement to pause the dataset refresh, you can vote this same idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/34788757-stop-dataset-refresh
