Hey all,
I went to this page:
https://app.powerbi.com/admin-portal/ppuTenantSettings
...and changed the "Automatic page refresh" setting from 30 minutes to 30 seconds minimum refresh interval.
Either something's missing or I need to give it longer (it's been almost two hours now). When I pull up my Power BI report with an existing DirectQuery, turn on "Page Refresh" and look at "More details," it still says "Admin interval: 30 minutes." I've refreshed the report, closed out of Power BI for a while and went back in, nothing seems to make it recognize that it should now recognize a 30 second minimum. I've tried setting it to 30 seconds and publishing it anyway, hoping maybe it's just my client not updating, but the PBI service doesn't recognize the new setting either.
Is there some other setting I'm missing; is this just one of those settings that takes 24 hours to take effect or something?

Hi, @mgudites
In the Power BI service, restrictions on automatic page refresh apply based on the workspace where the report is published, whether you're using Premium services, the Premium capacity admin settings, and the type of data source. Please refer to the following: Automatic page refresh in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
