What is the Refresh Rate of Azure DB ->Power BI portal?

[GoingIncognito]

This is a silly question. My dataset is in Azure DB and I read it in to report via Direct Query. Now I uploaded the report to Power BI portal. I have the data source credentials set up. So my question is: now that my data source is Azure how often can I automatically refresh the report? Is it the same as with any other source - id est 8 times a day because I am using PRO-license?

Hi @GoingIncognito 

There are many types of refresh according to this article

• If your dataset is configured for a live or DirectQuery connection, datasets are refreshed approximately each hour or when interaction with the data occurs. You can manually adjust the ‘refresh frequency’ in the ‘Scheduled Cache Refresh’ option in the Power BI service.
