Personal Gateway - does it stop the scheduled refresh if i miss a time

We do not have the enterprise gateway so i am running the personal gateway.
I have a report that refreshes every hour from 8am to 1pm.

I am running both Dataflows (from sharepoint) and 2 queries to a SQL DB. Some mornings the kids are terrible and i am not online at 8am for the personal gateway to refresh the SQL DB. It seems if i miss one scheduled refresh PowerBi turns off the scheduled refreshes and I need to go into the service and turn it back on?

Can anyone confirm the process for me. I can’t seem to find any documentation on the Microsoft site.

Hi @chad.sharpe,
Thank you very much for posting your question in the forum.
According to the Microsoft documentation:

Scheduled refresh disabled
If a scheduled refresh fails four times in a row, Power BI disables the refresh. Address the underlying problem, and then re-enable the scheduled refresh.

I have carried out a test creating the following automatic update process:

Daily
20:30 → the update fails because it is not connected to the internet

We received this email:

21:00 → successful update

21:30 → the update fails due to having the equipment turned off
We received the email of the previous ruling.

22:00 → the update fails due to having the equipment turned off
We received the email of the previous ruling.

22:30 → the update fails due to having the equipment turned off
We received the email of the previous ruling.

23:00 → the update fails due to having the equipment turned off
In this case we receive the following email:
