Refresh Data Monthly instead of daily.

[adeemerVM]

I have a Looker Studio report that is connected to my Azure database. I want to refresh the data monthly at the end of the month instead of daily to limit costs. Is there any way to do this. Even possibly some manual method. I know Looker Studio has a new-ish Pause Updates feature. Refreshing daily for most things is a pretty excessive.

Hi @adeemerVM, thanks for your post!

You can use the Pause updates feature on reports to temporarily turn off data requests for reports that use your Azure connection.

You can also change the data refresh rate on the data source, although I don't believe there is an option for Monthly. The  Manage data freshness documentation page has more details about how to do that, and also shows the default refresh rates for different connectors.
