Hi,
Okay, I understand your question now. This depends on the type of refresh you are doing, but generally speaking the refresh operation is transactional so if there is a failure the previous state is retained, as tou said like there wasn't any refresh in the first place.

I mean I could test this out myself but would like to know what the official intent of the service is if anyone knows or if MSFT Power BI developer could chime in.

Hi,
No, there is a retry amount cap:
"If a scheduled refresh fails four times in a row, Power BI disables the refresh. Address the underlying problem, and then re-enable the scheduled refresh."
Meaning that if your data refresh fails four times (e.g. due to crendentials expiring) you need to setup the refresh again.
I hope this post helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting it as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!

Thanks. By fail-safe I mean the traditional definition in coding. Some also use the term atomic interchangeably. All jargons aside, I mean if the dataset failed mid-refresh do I get partial refresh up to the failure or do I get the original as if no refresh happened at all?
