Issue with data source credentials Google Analytics

Hi all, for a little while now I have an issue with my Google Analytics credentials on PBI service. It shows "Your data source can't be refreshed because the credentials are invalid. Please update ...

    I fixed it, here is the solution:

    1. Download the latest update of PowerBi Desktop
    2. Refresh and connect everything locally and then update the file / publish
    3. Connecting now works, but you may have to use "Authentification Method: None" for Google Analytics.

    It's the PowerBi Update that came out a few days ago.

We have the same issue. Is exactly as stated by mpcbto, including the perfect refresh history without errors and no gateway used.

 

We can manually refresh in Desktop and Online, but we cannot reactivate the scheduled refresh (we had to add another person to the list of e-mail recipients).

 

We also tried multiple times, different times, etc. - it is not possible. Scheduled refresh stays greyed out even though all connectors are definitely validated with the correct credentials.

 

And to repeat again: scheduled refresh worked perfectly since months, but when I disabled "scheduled refresh" today for a second to add another e-mail, I now cannot enable it back on.

 

We did no changes to the underlying Google Analytics connector.
