Not working: disable background refresh

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with the enable/disable of the background refresh function. I disabled the function in a Power BI desktop report and cleared the caches in the option function. I uploaded it to Power Bi Services and scheduled the refresh. When I look at the data warehouse that gets all the queries I still see queries with the ending “LIMIT 1000 offset 0”. So, I assume the background refresh is still on.

Does anyone have an idea, what I can do? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Kristina
