What could happen if the dashboard refresh rate is less than the Warehouse's "Auto Stop" setting?

If the dashboard refresh rate is less than the Warehouse's "Auto Stop" setting, it means that the intervals at which the dashboard is attempting to refresh the data may be too short compared to how long the warehouse stays active before automatically stopping. In this scenario, if the dashboard tries to refresh while the warehouse is not actively in use, the warehouse may stop before the next refresh can occur. This results in the likelihood that the warehouse will go idle and consequently shut down, leading to an interruption in service. When a user then tries to access the dashboard for updated information, they might find that it cannot refresh since the underlying data warehouse is not running at that moment.

Other options do not accurately depict the implications of the dashboard's refresh rate in relation to the auto-stop setting of the warehouse. For instance, the idea of the warehouse becoming overloaded or the refresh not completing suggests a different set of issues that are not directly related to the timing set by the dashboard and the auto-stop setting. Additionally, while it is possible for the dashboard to not update, the crux of the situation is that the warehouse may not be available for the refresh due to its being stopped, thus leading to an intermittent refresh capability tied directly to the timing misalignment.
