Number of Data Refreshes for Power BI Premium per dataset

[Pooja_Pandya]

Hi All,

I would like to know how many daily power bi dataset refreshes are allowed per dataset having dataset on premium capacity?

eg: I have DatasetA,DatasetB,DatasetC and DatasetD. I would like to know howmany dataset refreshes are allowed for each dataset?     I learned on Microsoft docs that upto 48 data refreshes are allowed when dataset is on premium capacity but I want to know 48 refreshes are allowed per account or per dataset?

If you use the scheduled refresh, it is up to 48 refreshes that you can set specific time on per dataset on premium capacity.

But if you use XMLA end point or API to trigger refresh, it is unlimited.

Hi @Pooja_Pandya ,

With Power BI Premium capacity, up to 48 refreshes can be scheduled per dataset per day.

I am a premium user. But, still I can refresh data maximum 8 times. But, as per this post I should have 48 times. Am I missing any tricks?

The workspace has to be on premium capacity. Do you have it? See below screenshot.

My guess is you as a user have premium license, but your workspace doesnt.

Thanks for prompt response. Yes, I am a premium user, My exxisting workspace shows as a pro license user. But, I could able to create a new workspace, which shows premium license. Thanks for your help. Now I can setup more than 8 times data refresh.
