Expression Error.Access Forbidden SharePoint List

I have a report published to the power bi service. Whenever I try to download the report to refresh the data I get this message after the data has been refreshed.

When I click View errors. This comes up.

I've reset the data source settings and I still get this message. The permissions on the list hasn't changed either. The only thing that has changed is columns being added and rearranged on the sharepoint list. What can be the issue here?

Hi @dreaves1 ,

As the official document said, it may caused by expired cached credentials.

You could reset the data connection to re-enter credentials as belows:

Click the File tab —— Click Options and settings-Data source Settings on the menu —— Choose Clear Permissions.
