Connect to Snowflake error from unrelated db

I am able to preview data for all tables in database123.schema.table in Snowflake.
But, I am not able to preview data in Power Bi when connected to same database123.schema. When I select some tables in PBI, I get this error:
DataSource.Error: The warehouse 'xxx' is suspended. You will need to resume it before importing data.
Details:
DataSourceKind=Snowflake
DataSourcePath=yyycomputing.com;xxx
OdbcErrors=[Table]

Why is PBI trying to connect to warehoues 'xxx' when I am trying to read from database123?

Thank you.

I am able to run a query within Snowflake for the specific db (xxx), schema, table.

PBI error msg is still the same when I ry to :

DataSource.Error: The warehouse 'xxx' is suspended. You will need to resume it before importing data.
Details:
DataSourceKind=Snowflake
DataSourcePath=yyycomputing.com;xxx
OdbcErrors=[Table]

I am a read_only user in Snowflake. That should nto stop me from reading the tables/ data in PBI.
