On-prem Power BI report server, dynamic 365 data refresh
This is a documented limitation here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/data-sources
Dynamics 365 is not supported for scheduled refresh, it can only use cached data (ie. data that has been loaded in Power BI Desktop). If you need to do scheduled refresh of Dynamics 365 data you either need to publish your report on powerbi.com, not on Report Server or you would need to use some other tool to copy the data to a local source like a SQL Server which does support scheduled refresh.

Thanks a ton. I already gone through that URL but really didn't read between the lines :(. Thank you clearing me.

In my case I had to create a SSIS package with a OData driver to pull the data down to a database.
