PowerBI data refresh using RestAPI
Data refresh
For Power BI users, refreshing data typically means importing data from the original data sources into a dataset, either based on a refresh schedule or on-demand. You can perform multiple dataset refreshes daily, which might be necessary if the underlying source data changes frequently. Power BI limits datasets on shared capacity to eight daily refreshes. If the dataset resides on a Premium capacity, you can schedule up to 48 refreshes per day in the dataset settings.

Anonymous which article are you refering to?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/refreshdataset >> don't see a date here but:
In Shared capacities this call is limited to eight times per day (including refreshes executed via Scheduled Refresh)
In Premium capacities this call is not limited in number of times per day, but only by the available resources in the capacity, hence if overloaded, the refresh execution may be throttled until the load is reduced. If this throttling exceeds 1 hour, the refresh will fail.
As per the above, it is indeed not limited but the # of times per day but by the available resources in the capacity. Can you confirm if your workspace is on Premium Capacity?
I am talking about this article. But it might be out of date. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-data-refresh-apis-in-the-power-bi-service/
It is when they announced the data refrest APIs. It says the API is not limited to eight times.

That's simply a blog post announcing it, that documentation link leads my previous post.
