    With Power BI Pro, you cannot refresh every 5 minutes.

     

    Options:

     

    1.Scheduled refresh: max 8x/day (~every 3 hours) → Pro only.

    2.DirectQuery / Live connection: queries source in near real-time.

    3.Push/Streaming dataset: data pushed from source in near real-time.

    4.Premium license: allows up to 48 refreshes/day (~every 30 minutes).

     

    For true 5-minute refresh, you need DirectQuery, push dataset, or Premium.

    Hi ribisht 

     

    I would just like to point out if you are using Power BI Premium or Premium per user with a combination of using Power Automate you can refresh it every five minutes. The 48 refreshes per day that the other people have mentioned up above is a graphic UI interface limitation but you can use it via the API and refresh it as often as you like.
