Power Bi embedded report link fails to update

Hi,

After publishing the report I copy the public URL link and embed it into our website. After sometime If I change anything in the report layout and publish again, It doesn't update on the website. (Previous link doesn't show new changes). sometimes it shows but when I do it multiple times it doesn't. It take hours to reflect the changes. I have to create a new link everytime I make changes in the report. ( I have to delete all my report files from the PBI services and then publish the report which is not a good idea). 
Kindly guide me with this.

Hi! After you create your Publish to web embed code and share it, the report updates with any changes you make. The embed code link is immediately active. Anyone who opens the link can view it. However, the data is cached for one hour from the time it is retrieved. We don’t recommend using Publish to web for data that needs to refresh frequently or for sensitive data (because it's a public link that anyone can find). You can read more about it or the limitations in here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-publish-to-web

I hope that helps,
