Dear Comunity,
I have an interesting and kinda ridiculous problem:
I made some reports within 60 days period which are all using direct query, I set up the schedule refresh and they still work fine. (I was using my gmail account)
BUT after I start using my licenced pro user, I tried to publish the same reports. In desktop environment all seems fine, when I publish the report, report shows the recently updated data but data source credentials greyed out and also scheduled refresh greyed out.
I use PBI Desktop Version: 2.76.5678.782 64-bit
What may cause this behaviour? And how can I fix this?

@Anonymous where is db? Is it in cloud or on-prem? Are you using gateway? If yes, personal or enterprise?
