Unfortunately there is no easy solution for this. Sharepoint lists on Office 365 are explicitly listed as not supported for scheduled refresh https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/data-sources you either need to refresh in desktop and upload periodically or look at pulling the data to some other source that is supported for scheduled refresh.
