    Since there weren't any error messages, maybe there is a timeout occurred.

    Have you apply any advanced operation in query editor?(e.g merge, append, reference other steps, invoke custom functions...) . If that is a case, they will cause the looping calculation and duplicate cost on memory resource, You can refer to following links: Referenced Queries And Caching In Power BI And Power Query

    You can also try to increase the cache limits.

    1. Click Settings->Options->Global->Data Load to expose the "Data Cache Management Options".

    2. Try increasing the Maximum allowed (MB):to 16000 (or about double what the current setting is)

     

    Best Regards,

    Liang
