How do I limit the number of times PowerBI desktop queries a SQL database when password incorrect?

[Cheywork91]

When the credentials change to  access our SQL database, anytime anyone enters the wrong password or they accidentally have old credentials somewhere saved in their project, it queries it numberous times then locks us out of the database.

Is there a way to say, if password incorrect, stop and give error message instead of trying to hit the database an excessive number of times? After the password is wrong once, it's never going to be right.

@Cheywork91 , Unless scheduled on Power BI Service. Power bI do not make too many attempts to connect.

You can add connection time out for connection, under advance option

That's not correct in my experience. When you click refresh in PowerBI desktop, it hits the server multiple times, even after the password is wrong. It locks you out in under a 2 seconds usually, potentially in under 1.

I agree, is a problem we have, too.

We would need to "force" Power BI to give a message with the authentication error instead of to try several times to connect, because that lead to the lock of the user.
