I had this error and was just able to fix it. Mine occurred from successfully referencing an excel file in OneDrive, then needing to change the folder that the file was in, but keeping the file name the same.
When I cleared credentials and resigned in I still got the error, but when I clicked "Change Source" in Data Source Settings and put in the new file location path and then cleared permissions and re-signed in, it worked.
