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

Hi  @BendeLyon_69 ,

 

Import connection mode refresh requires you to configure scheduled refresh in Power BI Service

Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

This refresh option follows the official documentation:

By default, data changes in OneLake are automatically reflected in a Direct Lake model. You can change this behavior by disabling Keep your Direct Lake data up to date in the model's settings.
