I often get error messages when I attempt a manual refresh after manipulating tables in Power Query (i.e. after I select "Apply") but what's odd is that it usually works if I just re-attempt it once or twice.
This isn't a big deal when I'm creating or editing reports but I am concerned about what happens when I publish them because I'm assuming the same thing can/will happen. If I set an automatic refresh cycle and this same error occurs during an automatic refresh, will Power BI be smart enough to re-attempt the refresh until it works? If not is there any other solution besides setting multiple auto-refreshes within a few minutes of each other in case the first one or two fail?

After retry operations still not succeed, power bi will disable the refresh and required you to verify and confirm the refresh settings.
