Don't limit download data file sizes

Right now I need to be able to download a large csv from Power BI desktop and I'm getting the error message: "Data Exceeds the Limit" and "Your data is too large . Some data sampling may occur". And right now the table doesn't even appear to be that large: 6 columns x 811 rows.

Idea: Please remove the governor on the ability to download large CSV files.

Similar issue.
Please remove this restriction as we need to deal with more data.
Any one out there have a better way to download with matrix function?

This is the same limitation with many D365 Finance & Operations reports - very frustrating as most analysts need more data.

The size limitation for a csv export is ... well it makes Power BI less usefull for my work. Please get rid of this limitation!

The limitation seems to be 30k records, which is far too small in today's data environments. I'm sure any data analyst would agree.

I'm getting this message trying to export data from a matrix that is only a few dozen rows and none of my source data tables has more than a couple thousand rows. Not sure what's going on as there's no way I'm hitting a size cap.
