Hi  @manaryo93 ,

To refresh data in the Power BI service, you also need to configure the gateway to set the schedule for refresh.

Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Configure scheduled refresh - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

On-premises data gateway - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

In Power BI Service, you can set schedule refresh for your dataset, in order to set how often it refresh your dataset, you would need to configure on-premises gateway and add Amazon AWS data source under the gateway. For more details, you can review this article.

There is also a similar thread for your reference:
