    Hi Keshri ,
    Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

    You're definitely on the right path with DirectQuery  it's a good option for working with near real-time data, but it's important to know how it behaves. As danextian , DirectQuery doesn't refresh continuously on its own. It only pulls fresh data when a user interacts with the report or if you've set up automatic page refresh (APR). APR can help keep your visuals updated at regular intervals, but if you need refresh rates faster than every 30 minutes, your report needs to be hosted in a Premium or Fabric capacity workspace.
