What is a session and how is it billed? A session is a set of interactions between an end user and a Power BI Embedded report. Each time that a Power BI Embedded report is displayed to a user, a session is initiated and the subscription holder will be charged for a session. Sessions are billed at a flat rate, independent of the number of visual elements in a report or how frequently the report content is refreshed. A session ends when either the user closes the report, or one hour after the session was initiated, whichever comes first. How does Power BI Embedded relate to the Power BI service? Power BI Embedded and the Power BI service are separate offerings. Power BI Embedded is billed and deployed through the Azure portal and is targeted at ISVs and enterprises embedding dashboards in applications for third party use. The Power BI service is billed and deployed through the O365 portal and is a standalone general purpose BI offering primarily targeted at enterprise internal use. For more information on the Power BI service please visit powerbi.com.

Hi @amitloh,

 

>>A session ends when either the user closes the report, or one hour after the session was initiated, whichever comes first.

Based on document, the session ends when close the report or time out for one hour. When users refresh the report, the report is active, so I think it doesn't re-create the session when refresh the report.
