You must also be careful not to exceed the 5-minute runtime calculation for a Python visual in order to avoid a time-out error. Moreover, in order not to run into performance problems, the resolution of the Python visual plots is fixed at 72 DPI.As you can imagine, some limitations of Python script visuals are different depending on whether you run the visual on Power BI Desktop or the Power BI service.If you think you need to develop reports intended only for the Power BI Desktop, without the need to publish them on the service, you can do any of the following:
