Power Bi shared capacity refresh limit

Hi there.   I know that the Power Bi shared capacity refresh limit is set to 8 daily refreshes, as described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/refresh-data#:~:text=Power%...

    Hi mwolf007 

    The limit of 8 scheduled refreshes on a Pro licence is per Dataset. So, for example, you could have 5 Datasets in a Workspace, each being automatically refreshed up to 8 times per day, a total of 40 refreshes per day for the data in that Workspace.

    Remember that the limit of 8 refreshes per dataset is only applied to scheduled refreshes. You can run as many manual refreshes , done by clicking "refresh now" on the dataset as you want, they do not count towards the 8. Also refreshes triggered through Power Automate "Flow" do count towards the 8 per day. 

    Effectively, if you have to click or do a manual procedure to refresh, it is not counted towards the limit of 8. The limit of 8 automated refreshes applies on a Per Dataset basis.

    See: Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

    Hope this helps
