Power BI initial load failure

Greetings fellow Power Bi users.

In our company we made a template many months ago (juni 2019). 
Until september 2020 it used to work without any problems.

But since then, every time we open the template, certain visuals don't seem to load succesfully. 
When we manually refresh the data, the visuals work again. 

 

We use data from a local DB and in the cloud via AWS. But there seems to be no corrolation between the initial load failures and the data source. 

 

Does anyone have any ideas what goes wrong? 

Tried searching for similar cases but didn't found any. 

 

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

 

Here can you find a screenshot of the visuals after the initial load and after the manual refresh:

FTR: data is from a demo, not from a real life situation.

    My Dutch(?) is not up to scratch so I'm not sure what the error says.

    Are these visuals using data from a Direct Query connection and (for some reason) the data is not being refreshed when you open the pbix?  I'm assuming it did refresh when it was previously working

    HI Farmad-BL,

    It seems like you are working with a template file that designs on the old version of power bi desktop.
    I'm not so sure if this scenario related to the internal data connector update, perhaps you can try or rebuild it on the last version of power bi and try again to confirm if this issue appears again. (you can copy the backend m query formula to a new pbix file to migrate the data model table, then you can simply copy these visual between two reports)
