Keep having to authenticate when using Power Query
I've been consistently having issues with conveniently viewing/running my queries (through Odata feed) on power query. Nearly every time I open up the file, it prompts me to authenticate my account, saying "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided. Please try again." Some context, I am not the owner of these files, but I am an author on the file, shared on the Sharepoint, and a member of the ticketing site from which the Odata link is being pulled.
Any feedback or help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi eheissner ,
1. Please clear the Global Permissions for the OData service URI and try again. To clear Global Permissions, go to File > Options and Settings > Data Source Settings > Global Permissions.
2. If you're using the OData feed connector to connect to a SharePoint list, SharePoint online list, or Project Online, the maximum URL length for these connections is approximately 2,100 characters.
