Hello,
I have created a tabular model of data using the Azure Analysis Services SAAS feature (B1 tier, ~5Gb in size).
I can connect to my model using PowerBI Desktop, and it works great... for about five minutes.
After a while I start to find that some of the visualisations stop refreshing (Showing the "Can't display the visual"/"No OLE Database Found" error message - but clicking the Refesh button sometimes fixes it, only for a different visualisation to then fail. If I have four visualisations in a report, it is almost impossible to get them to refresh at the same time (see picture).
After a bit longer, I usually get a message saying "Couldn't Load the Model Schema", and nothing works anymore. The only thing to do then is save the .pbix file, restart PBI Desktop and start again... but I only get a few minutes (if I'm lucky) before the whole thing starts again.
It feels like the Azure AS service is "timing out" after a period of time -but I can't find any documentation of this being a feature you can change.
I have tried different internet connections, and laptops, so I have ruled out a problem with network.
Has anyone experienced any similar problems?
