Refresh Anomaly

Please see screen shots below. So usually I can refresh my data by clicking on the "Refresh" button in the main Power BI window (Report View). It normally shows success. But now, every time I click refresh, it always fail, as shown below. Oddly the data that I use are actually refreshed.

I'm working on a dataset which also has references to another dataset. All the data from that other dataset were indeed correctly acquired and refreshed in my dataset, even though Power BI says, there are errors. Every time the other dataset were refreshed, my dataset is able to get the most updated data from it, after I click refresh button, although I get these error messages.

Could someone help to explain this anomaly ?

Why is it happening and is there something else to be done on my side ?
