Planned maintenance for the Fabric and Power BI service is a necessary part of our commitment to providing a reliable product to our customers. When planned maintenance is happening, the service may be unavailable to your organization for some time. Users might not be able to access the service and background operations might be unsuccessful. After the maintenance window, we expect the service to operate normally and both interactive and background operations to succeed.
Maintenance is planned to happen outside of normal business hours to help minimize any impact to your organization. For organizations that have users around the globe, we recognize that "outside of normal business hours" might affect you differently. We apologize for any effect to your users. We're working hard to improve the service and to minimize these maintenance windows.
Microsoft 365 admins in affected organizations see an advance notice in the Microsoft 365 Message center.
Prepare for planned maintenance
- Microsoft 365 administrators should check the Message center for messages about Fabric and Power BI planned maintenance. Share the message with people who should be aware but may not have access to Message center. Set your preferences in Message center to receive email notifications.
- If you're not a Microsoft 365 admin, engage with your IT department or your internal support teams to ask about any upcoming maintenance.
- The following usage data, which was collected before your maintenance window, resets during maintenance and isn't available afterward. Back up any data you want to retain and download activity logs before maintenance.
- Even after migration, you can still get equivalent activity logs through Purview for up to 180 days by default. For more information, see Track user activities in Microsoft Fabric.
Postmaintenance steps for admins and users
- Users should refresh any open browser windows.
- Power BI Mobile app users will need to verify they're using the most recent version and sign out then sign back into the app. Check your phone's app store or check our Power BI Mobile page.
- Customers who were actively editing or publishing reports that use organizational visuals, whether locally or from OneDrive and SharePoint locations, need to either reimport the visual via the organization visual store or download an updated PBIX before republishing. For more information about organizational visuals, see Organization visuals.
- Links to Power BI embedded in content might fail to connect when maintenance is done. For example, an embedded link in SharePoint or Teams may result in a user error. To resolve this problem, you have to regenerate the embedded link in Power BI and then update the locations where they're used. For more information about embedded links, see Embed a report web part in SharePoint Online and Collaborate in Microsoft Teams with Power BI.
- For Excel workbooks that use the Analyze in Excel feature, if they fail to refresh you might need to update the connection string or redownload the ODC connection for that dataset.
