I agree with you because I came to the same answer. I posted this in case I missed something or someone has a better approach. Accepting your answer as the solution as it goes straight to the point. 

Hopefully in the future, they can include something to refresh the Meta Data.

      You can now edit semantic models in the service. That should also allow you to request a schema refresh.
