Error of "The field '' of the record wasn't found." during initial data refresh

I haven't seen this type of error before, but when I refresh my data initially I'll receive the error below:

 

The field '' of the record wasn't found.

 

Now two oddities with this -

1) There are multiple tables (10+) in my model and this error will randomly reference one of the tables.

2) Once the initial refresh fails, my second refresh always works without any errors.

 

Any thoughts?

@kamil947 , it seem like an issue with the connection to DB and it fails for a different reason.
