    Hi. First of all I don't think you can refresh more than 8 times with pro license. It doesn't matter if its from Automate or API. Then, reports are not dynamic. They will load the visualizations and data and store it in your cache. If an update is complete while you are checking the report you can't see it untill you refresh the browser or close/start a tab with Power Bi.

    If you want to keep a screen refreshing all the time you should check dashboards out. Those will change automatically if you pin them correctly (filtered with relative dates, a non static filter date).

    I hope that helps,
