Conflicting Information about PBI Service Refresh Limit from Microsoft

Hi team, 

I am finding some conflicting information RE daily refresh limit: both articles below were recently updated, one says on-demand refresh (refresh now) counts towards limit, one says no. I am mainly refering to PBI Pro licence (8 times a day). So ... which one is it?

Hi @QC ,

 I agree with you on the solution, however, the Microsoft documentation team does not monitor these forums.

 

The way to request a documentation change is to submit feedback at the bottom of the page 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-gateway-sql-tutorial

and choose This page. You can also look at all previously submitted feedback.

 

I actually opened a ticket on this yesterday after reading your post.

You are correct that'd be the best way to give MS feedback, I wasn't aware of it. I have accepted your post as solution. Thanks again for your help.

Hi @QC ,

 Good catch on the conflicting documentation.

 

The limit is on scheduled refreshes only, take a look at this thread to confirm:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Scheduled-Refresh-limits/m-p/361367

 

The link you posted refers to the 2nd link in my post. I will keep it open b/c solution is MS actually corrects the error in 1st link, I do appreicate your help.
