 ## Considerations and limitations
 To maintain app reliability and performance here are some app, audience group, and access limits to consider:
 - You can create one app per workspace.
+- App publish and update operations have a timeout of 1 minute. If your app is running into timeout error during update, consider reducing the number of artifacts included in the app.
 - You can create up to 25 audience groups per app.
 - A total of 10,000 users and user groups combined can have access to an app.
 - Each user group is counted as one entry against the 10,000 total.

 - Each workspace user or user group is counted per audience group. For example, if you have four workspace users and five app audience groups those four workspace users will be counted per audience group (4x5), accounting for 20 users against the 10,000 users or user groups limit per app. Additionally, each workspace user or user group is counted against the 1,000 users or user groups per audience group.
 - Consider how many workspace users or user groups have access to the app and how many users and user groups you have added to audience groups when creating additional audience groups. It is possible to hit the maximum number of 10,000 users or user groups per app before hitting the limit of 25 audience groups per app. For example, if you create 10 audience groups and have 1,000 users per audience group (accounting for workspace users too) you would hit the 10,000 app user or user groups limit and any additional audience groups with additional users or user groups will block the app from publishing or updating.
 - If you include a report that uses chained semantic models, also known as [DirectQuery for Power BI semantic models and Analysis Services](../connect-data/desktop-directquery-datasets-azure-analysis-services.md), in an app, when you add a user to an audience group, make sure to give permissions to all the semantic models in the chain. We recommend using Microsoft Entra Security Groups to manage permissions here. For more information, visit [Strategy for using groups](../guidance/powerbi-implementation-planning-security-tenant-level-planning.md#strategy-for-using-groups). The same consideration should be made for semantic models in a different workspace other than the app, make sure to give permissions to semantic models in a different workspace.
+- If you include a paginated report that uses a semantic model, in an app, when you add a user to an audience group, make sure to give permission to the semantic model.
 
 Additional things to keep in mind about publishing apps:
 - AppSource is an external service that only has public-facing service apps. For organizational apps, users can just go to Apps marketplace to find them. Template apps are also available from Apps marketplace.

 For SSO and OAuth2 to work correctly, the Azure SQL Database server that the data source connects to needs to have [Microsoft Entra authentication support enabled](/azure/sql-database/sql-database-aad-authentication-configure). For the OAuth2 authentication method, Microsoft Entra ID generates a token and stores it for future data source access. To use the [SSO authentication method](../connect-data/service-azure-sql-database-with-direct-connect.md#single-sign-on) instead, select the SSO option right below it, **End users use their own OAuth2 credentials when accessing this data source via DirectQuery**.
 
-## Considerations and limitations
-
-When using a Power BI semantic model as a data source, you might see an error message **Request failed because response is too large, either reduce the amount of data or use the XMLA endpoint.** if the data is larger than 2 GB. In that case, either reduce the amount of data, for example by applying filters, or use the XMLA endpoint. Note that when using XMLA endpoint, you need to grant Build permission on the Power BI semantic model to all users viewing the paginated report. Learn more about the [XMLA endpoint](../enterprise/service-premium-connect-tools.md). By default, Power BI Report Builder and paginated reports use the **Analyze in Excel** endpoint [(which has a 2-GB data limit)](../collaborate-share/service-analyze-in-excel.md#considerations-and-limitations) to support Power BI semantic models in any workspace.
