I am having this issue too. It's extremely inconvenient as it keeps happening on a dataset that takes an hour to refresh. It's also very debilitating for access because you cant modify RLS security while the dataset is refreshing which means I can't give access until this refresh is done.

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Afraid this is a by design feature of Power BI. Basically Power BI services takes the re-publish or publish of report as a changes of layout and data. This is why it will always automatically refresh which should be understandable because usually data changes are also to be reflected by many developers.

 

However, you can definitely submit an idea here for optional data refresh.

 

Give a thumbs up if this post helped you !!!
