Are refresh rate per file?

[Anonymous]

Hi guys, 

I am trying to fully understand refresh rates. I have a pro account so I get 8. Now I have a couple of seperate Power BI files that I manage, is this limit of 8 refreshes per file? Or do I need to spread this limit out accross all my files?

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous 

The 8 refreshes we usually say are for the dataset .When you configure the scheduled refresh in Power BI Service , you can set the refresh rate . There is no limit on the number of refreshes in power bi desktop.

IF you choose Daily or Weekly refresh ,there will be a button let you add the times for refresh. When you reach the maximum number of 8, you can no longer add. When your dataset get refreshed from your datasource ,all the reports based on the datasource will refresh .

Best Regards
