Power BI's data refresh limits create challenges for developers, especially for dynamic datasets. Pro licenses allow only 8 refreshes per day, which may not suffice for businesses needing frequent updates. Premium licenses enable 48 refreshes but are expensive for smaller organizations. Power BI developers often implement incremental refresh or DirectQuery to mitigate this, but these approaches come with their own challenges, such as increased query complexity or performance trade-offs. Ensuring data consistency and timely updates becomes a critical responsibility for developers, requiring strategic decisions in model design.
