That's right otravers.

Refreshes are constrained to 8 or 48 times per day based on the acquired capacity. If you exceed this limit, you get an exception "Number of refresh requests in last 24 hours exceeded limit". 

 

To add some more on this topic every refresh consumes part of the acquired capacity. So, you may face situations that a refresh (even for a small dataset) takes a long time waiting for some capacity to be assigned to it.

 

A feature that allow incremental refreshes  has already started and it would be nice addition to the refresh toolkit.

 

Hope this add to the conversation.

Anonymous Incremental Refresh is live as of today's Power BI Desktop update, but that's limited to PBI Premium:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-premium-incremental-refresh

 

I haven't heard of that functionality being planned for Embedded (which doesn't mean it's not, just that I haven't seen that explicitly mentioned, while it's been known for a couple of months that PBI Premium was about to get incremental refreshes).

    Hi otravers,

     

    just to let you know that the incremental refresh will work with either dedicated capacity - whether that is from Office (Premium) or Azure (Power BI Embedded). 

    This is the answer I've got from GuyInACube in my question in this video.

     

    Hope it helps.

    Hi otravers,

     

    some info from the internal teams was talking for being available for PBI Embedded (during summer). But maybe I haven't understand correctly.

     

    I asked for some clarification. When I have something more on this, I'll get back to you.

     

    Of course, you can still use this feature to embed reports with PBI Premium but you have to pay more (a lot more) :)
