I got the same issue, I was using same folder for multiple query. I turned off parallel loading in power Bi options. It will load one table at once... and it works for me.

oren , what method you have used to change the source.
Ceated a new correction using sharepoint. Open Power Query -> Right click on table -> Open advance editor -> Take the related code and replace it in advance editor of old table code
