Not able to refresh a Report

Hi bot552 

Here are some limitations and considerations for your reference:

Directly publishing a protected .pbix file from Power BI Desktop to the Power BI service is not supported for guest users, even if they have higher-level permissions. To update or publish reports from a protected .pbix file, guest users need to start from the Power BI service, using Get Data, for example.

The following storage mode conversions are not supported during republish:
If you first publish a report using Import mode, you won't be able to overwrite the report and the semantic model with a DirectQuery or Live Connect based report. This will not work.
If you first publish a report using a live connection, then change the storage mode or the target semantic model in Power BI Desktop, you won't be able to overwrite the report when you republish.

Here's a link for your reference:

Publish from Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
