Office 365 Adoption Preview
is it free, i have alot of users with it on. not sure I want to turn it on. What is user experience like or is this analytics and reporting only for global admins?
- I assume you are talking about the Power BI Adoption Pack...I definitively recommend you to turn it on to get deep insight about how your people is using Office 365
Turning it on sounds great but Microsoft isn't being informative as to if this costs money and what load this puts on the traffic if any. With that said who here knows if turning this feature on is an additional cost and who is able to access this data, I would like to point out that a majority of my users have Power BI enabled - do they get access to all of this reporting and analitics?

No cost involved what so ever, you lose nothing by turning it on and gain everything from the insights it provides on Office 365 adoption and engagement in your tenant. From the FAQ:
Question: Is this content pack going to be available through purchase or will it be made available for free?
Answer: The content pack is available to all customers free of charge. You need to sign up for the free Power BI service to connect to the content pack. You can also customize the dashboards and reports with the free Power BI service.
The question about access is also covered:
Question: Who can connect to the Office 365 Adoption content pack?
Answer: You have to be either a global administrator, Exchange administrator, Skype for Business administrator, or SharePoint administrator in order to connect to the content pack.
A new role that would allow a user to read reports is also under consideration.
Hope that makes things a bit clearer!
Power Bi failed to refresh in my tenant. It happened twice. Not sure if the issue was from MS side or do we need to take action?

Where you will see this message: Email from Power BI or failed status in the refresh history.
Cause: Sometimes the credentials of the user who connected to the content pack are reset, and not updated in the connection settings of the content pack causing the user to see refresh failure errors.
To fix this error: In Power BI, find the dataset corresponding to the Office 365 Adoption dashboard (Office 365 Adoption_preview.pbix) , choose schedule refresh and provide your Office 365 admin credentials.
