Schedule Refresh w/o time specified what does it mean?

I do have a PPU lisence working on shared capacity Workspace. All of my tables are in Import Mode. 

 

Trying to understand what this really mean? On a simple context

 

By default it runs daily but I dont have any idea which specific time it is.

I am located in the Far East. Just want to know how this setup works on a refresh perspective. 

 

 

Any example scenario or document is highly appreciated. Thank you for the help!

    No. If there is no time specified in  scheduled refresh, PowerBI will not automatically refresh the imported data.

    You may need to click “Dataset”->"Refresh Now" to manually refresh the imported data.

    Hi, v_mark 

    You can perform multiple dataset refreshes daily, which might be necessary if the underlying source data changes frequently. In addition to specifying the Refresh frequency and local Time zone, you also need to configure multiple Time nodes for the daily scheduled refresh.

    You dataset resides on a Premium capacity, you can schedule up to 48 refreshes per day in the dataset settings.

     

     

    Reference:

    Data refresh in Power BI 

    Configure scheduled refresh

      I appreciate sharing that information. I might misunderstood your statement. 

      Are you saying that by default without any time specified.

      The refresh will kick in on my actual local timezone when I turn on the auto scheduled refresh? 

       

      For example.  my current local time is 10:41AM 

      so since there is no time specified and it was set daily the automated refresh  will run at 10:41AM everyday.
