Usage Metric Report Scheduled refresh has been disabled.

[PowerBIOrg]

Hi All, 

We are subscribing Power BI Embedded Capacity. We will pause the capacity on weekend. 

We have a Usage Metric Report to monitor the views on every reports. As we know it will refresh automatically itself, but the problems here is we cannot find the way to stop it refresh on weekend. When the capacity is paused on weekend, the refresh history will show "Scheduled refresh has been disabled."

Anyone know how to handle this?

Hi @PowerBIOrg ,

Usage metrics reports are a feature that the Power BI or global administrator can turn on or off. Administrators have granular control over which users have access to usage metrics. They are On by default for all users in the organization.

Hi @v-jayw-msft 

We know that admin can control which user can access the usage metric. But the problem now is this usage metric refresh EVERYDAY, including weekend. 

As mentioned before, we are subscribing Power BI Embedded. We will paused the capacity on weekend. Whenever the usage metric is refreshing on weekend, it will show error as "Scheduled refresh has been disabled". 

Is there any way that we can set schedule refresh like other datasets do?

Thanks.

I have the same issue. Did you ever figure it out?

Hi,

Since I will pause the capacity on weekend, the schedule refresh will be failed. 

I enable back the schedule refresh through API with desired schedule.

Combine the following API can help to update the schedule refresh:

1. Updates Schedule Day and Time 
2. Set Enable = true

You may check if your schedule is updated through API as well. In case you have no idea how to setup the API, you may refer to this link.
