I am getting the exact same error message in PBi Desktop. 
working with a dataset that has been in use to a while now. This just started happening.

    ChuckS v-yueyunzh-msft  - I have done the recommended steps and it continues.  I have taken my PBI file and migrated it internally to another machine and it works as expected.  So, it is related to the machine itself.  I do recall a java update and an MS update hitting just before the issue.  I have rolled back the java.  No change.  I am thinking of attacking the OBDC next.
