Hello all,
I'm so confused about how many times I can refresh my dataset. The schedules refresh is restricted to 8 times/day.
what if I use power automate to create a flow that refresh a dataset?
would it be counted as an on-demand refresh?
or is it going to be counted from the 8 time refreshes I have per day?
Please if anyone can help me because I spent 2 days reading and trying to do it but I didn't get anywhere.

Hi @Anonymous,
the existing limits apply, also for Power Automate.
Have a look at this blog post: Refresh your Power BI dataset using Microsoft Flow.
