    If there are many reports running at the time and one report seems like a resource hog, you would want to pause or stop a refresh so that another report can finish.

    I support this feature to be included in PBI services.

    This would be a huge time saver for us. We occasionally run into non-fatal errors or slowness with scheduled refreshes. Currently, we have no choice but to wait for the refresh to time out, which takes hours.

    I use a lot of API queries in my report. Every time I do a little change I need to wait for 5min for queries to load again. I definitely should have the possibility to temporarily disable the refresh. It is sufficient for me that the queries run once, so that I have the base of my report and continue from there. The refresh is only necessary "on demand" and in the final published report.

    The inability to prevent the data from refreshing is vital during the development of a report that references a large dataset. Each time a change is made, we get another query and they stack up in suspended status waiting for queries to finish. Please give us the ability to stop or pause the refresh before our DBA goes nuts.

    The ability to stop a refresh is vital!
