How to activate hourly data refresh?

[dpiskula]

Hi, I'm using DocumentDB as the data source. When scheduling a refresh, I saw that if I activate the 60 days of free PBi Pro I can have my data be updated hourly. However, after activating it, I can still only choose between daily and weekly updates. Am I doing something wrong here? Or is DocumentDB not supported for this?

If you're still looking for a way to refresh your data as often as 2-3 minutes, check out the link below, works for unlimited number of workbooks

@dpiskula,

After activeted your account, there is a option for us to add time when we need our data refreshed under Daily option.

Currently, it only limited schedule refresh 8 times a day.

Here is a document about data refresh on Power BI for you reference.

Hi, I must have missed that in the document. Although it is pretty misleading, to be honest. Thank you for your help!
