    Hi andyclap ,

    1. The previous data is used until the refresh is complete

    2. You could cancel refresh now

    3. Changes in data source table structure, or schema, such as a new, renamed, or removed column can only be applied in Power BI Desktop, and in the Power BI service they can cause the refresh to fail, and you need publish to the service, it is not possible to coordinate this scenario automatically

     

    For more details, you can read related document: Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
