    If you get data from OneDrive/SharePoint directly in Power BI Service as below. You should be able to refresh hourly with free account.

     

     

    If you get data from an excel stored in SharePoint in Power BI Desktop, then publish to Power BI Service. You need to be Pro user if you want to refresh multiple times in one day.

    According to this document,  data from a dataset that refreshes more frequently than daily is Power BI Pro content. If you create a manufacturing dashboard that updates progress multiple times during the day, anyone consuming that dashboard would need a Power BI Pro license.

    Thank you for the clarification, now it is clear. So the problem is that I used PBI Desktop and published the report. If I connect to the same data in the PBI Service, that would refresh hourly even with a free account.

     

    Thank you for the help.

     

    Regards,

According to this official document, Power BI check for updates automatically about every hour. Could you please check in Refresh history to see if refresh is triggered for your dataset since last refresh, even it shows the next refresh will be in year 9999?
