Automatic page refresh in Power BI
The fine print of the documentation may have been lost. APR is only available for direct query data sources. All it does is emulate user activity. That should answer all your other questions.
Hi Anonymous
If you compare automatic refresh with manual click, the difference between them maybe one need you to click refresh button and one is automatic.

Hi Anonymous
For your question: If automatic page refresh succeed, all of them will refresh. (Using which column in visual won't impact.)
In addtion to lbendlin's reply, automatic page refresh will only be available when you are connected to a DirectQuery data source.
Though automatic page refresh don't have restriction in refresh interval (1 second) in Desktop. However it will have some limitions if you publish your report on Service.
If you are not a Premium user( minimun refresh interval = 1 second), your minimun refresh interval = 30 min. Your minimun schedule cache refresh frequency = 15 min.
And there can only be a maximum of 10 models with change detection measure in a Power BI tenant.
For more info you may refer to the Restrictions on refresh intervals and Considerations and limitations part in this blog.

Hi Rico,
Your post helps me to understand the refresh rate. Also could you tell me whether we need Premium Capacity to have APR interval of 1 second? Or will it be sufficient to have Premium Per User license to have the APR interval of 1 second?
Appreciate your reply,
