Power BI embedded currently only supports reports, and reports do not update in real-time as only dashboards have that ability at the moment.

 

This means the costs for embedded reports will be much lower, since the user will have to manually refresh the report or perform some other action to cause invalidation in order for you to be charged.

Given that dashboards function slightly differently to reports, if we implement the functionality for embedding dashboards we can look into ways to avoid astronomical costs like the ones in your calculations.
