Table is in the import storage mode. I did not run a refresh, but it pulls the latest data anyway.

How to limit data updates in the "import mode" to the refresh times only?

That doesn't make a ton of sense. Did another user run refresh? Are you sure you do not have a composite model and the piece in question is live? You are referring to a report in the Service, correct?

I imported one table from SQL Server database about a week ago. I grouped the data I needed in the Power Query. And I do see the message "This preview may be up to 8 days old" in the Power Querry Editor. But it displays the data from today. Once I close & apply query changes it shows the Last Refresh 20 minutes ago.

Hi @yagusik ,

Did you come across this message?

Here is the document for your reference.

And you could also go to Options-->Global-->Data load, then clear cache.
