I am a Pro user, but according to this I should have the ability to do incremental refresh as a Pro user:  Incremental refresh for semantic models and real-time data in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Thanks for the reply from @lbendlin , please allow me to provide another insight: 

Hi  @KAB-PH ,

Incremental refresh configuration requires the data source to support query folding, check whether your data source supports query folding.

You can review the following documentation to help you determine if the data source and query support query folding
