Hi @revathi_p4 ,

Please check that the credentials have expired, clear the permissions, and try again.

You can try the following:

1.Open Power BI Desktop, when you already created visuals use the existing pbix.

2.go to File --> Options and settings --> Data source settings.
Check "Data sources in current file" and "Global permissions", mark any source and hit "Clear Permissions"; be aware that the source might not dissapear.

3.Close the Data source settings dialog.

4.Hit refresh.

You can also use a custom connector, which uses AAD authentication and doesn't require bearer tokens or refresh tokens. 

Please refer to the following document for more information.
