    You can manually refresh more than 8 times a day. Power BI puts a limit on refresh schedule because you are using the share capacity with other people.

Hey,

 

I just stumbled over this thread.

 

Please read this carefully:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/refresh-data#data-refresh

It is also important to call out that the daily refresh limitation applies to both, scheduled and on-demand refreshes combined.

This means it's that simple, you have to stick to

  • 8times a day if you are on Power BI Pro
  • 48times a day if you are on Power BI Premium

Regards,

Tom

    HiTomMartens ,

     

    This detail was due to an errata in the page you have referred to and has been cleaned up.

     

    To qualify the extract now reads:

     

    It is also important to call out that the shared-capacity limitation for daily refreshes applies to both scheduled refreshes and API refreshes combined. You can also trigger an on-demand refresh by selecting Refresh Now in the dataset menu, as the following screenshot depicts. On-demand refreshes are not included in the refresh limitation.

     

    The errata is referenced here: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/powerbi-docs/issues/1604

     

    Hope tjis helps clear things up.

     

    Kind regards,

    Andrew
