Power Automate Data Refresh

Hi,

 

i have a dataset with one direct query source and one Import source. the Import source a an excel file on a sharepoint location, so I used Web Connector to load it. I want to implement a button to refresh the data from that excel. I tried with Power Automate and had no luck.

 

I already did some troubleshooting and found out that my Direct Query Source could be a problem, so I created a test with only the Web Source. I created a flow with only one step, to refresh the dataset. I published everything, changed something in the excel and hit the button. But nothing happens. The flow runs and runs and in the end it gives an error:

"Looks like your flow's operation is hitting an action limit designed to protect the connector service being called."

 

Is that the limitation of 8 daily refreshes?

@H3nning , if you are on pro, then their a limit of 8 refreshes per day. Hope you have not exceeded that. I think, that limit applies to power automate too
