Hi Perfecta
Based on available info, it sounds like the source doesnt fully support incremental refresh because its using an API.
The suggestions from Microsoft are to use a staging layer. Basically its means if you can move you API call to a SQL DB or something similar then that could work.
Another thing I would suggest is, can you move you Power Query M code to a Power BI Dataflow?
Dataflows sit in the cloud and they have slightly different behaviour to local queries. You can try moving the query to a Data flow and then connect to the data flow through desktop. The Data flow also supports incremental refresh. It should be easy to setup and you simply need to copy paste your query to a dataflow. Worth testing.
Hi Perfecta
It may be worth double checking if any of your PowerQuery steps are breaking the fold.
Move through the steps one at a time and verify the native query option is available.
Its tricky to comment without visibility but it could be a merge or transformation which is not liked by the source.
Please do clarify the data source is relational and can support incremental / folding operations.
