Yes, 5 hour limit is same for  Power Bi Premium per user and Premium per capacity both and that can not be increased as for I know, you mat reach to Support https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/pro/ 
Suggetion - To have sucessfull refresh you will need to reduce data volume or pick a non peak hour to do first full refresh and then go for incremental refresh

You can also look for Gateway or source performance as that could also be bottleneck

Hi @Anonymous , Yes it 5 hrs for premium. If are saying the 5 hours is also less then go for incremental refresh,
