    Hi learninggeek_01,

     

    Cache refresh plans apply only to Paginated reports, not to PBIX reports.
    For power bi(.pbix) reports use Refresh plans, which are managed separately through the Power BI Report Server REST API.

    For your reference below is the official documentation:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/rest-api

     

    Below is a simple power shell code to create a refresh plan for a PBIX report using the REST API:

    $serverUrl = "https://<your-server>/reports/api/v2.0"
    $reportPath = "/Sales Reports/SalesPerformance"
    $report = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$serverUrl/CatalogItems?path=$([uri]::EscapeDataString($reportPath))" -UseDefaultCredentials
    $reportId = $report.value[0].Id

    $body = @{
    "@odata.type" = "#Model.RefreshPlan"
    "Name" = "Daily Refresh"
    "Enabled" = $true
    "StartDate" = (Get-Date "2025-10-14T02:00:00Z")
    "Recurrence" = @{
    "@odata.type" = "#Model.DailyRecurrence"
    "DaysInterval" = 1
    }
    } | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10

    Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$serverUrl/CatalogItems($reportId)/RefreshPlans" `
    -Method POST -ContentType "application/json" `
    -UseDefaultCredentials -Body $body

     

    Thanks and regards,
