I want unlimited dataset refresh with API call. Is this possible with premium account because I only see 48 refreshes with Premium Capacity?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @ZMALQ ,
According to the official documentation, there is no limitation of the refresh number using API in Premium capacities.
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.

I stand corrected, thanks Icey! Apparently I've been hung up on the docs that are specific only to the settings in the Service.
"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. For more information, see Configure scheduled refresh later in this article."
API for the win!
@ZMALQ The limit has always been 48 with premium licensing, I'm not aware that there is a way to get around that and I haven't heard that it changed.
