You are the Power BI administrator for a large enterprise. The company has a Power BI Premium capacity with a single dataset that is used by multiple reports and dashboards. The dataset is refreshed daily at 3:00 AM, and the refresh typically completes within 2 hours. Recently, users have reported that the dataset is not showing the most recent data until after 6:00 AM.
