500 internal server error is generally related to a time out server side (the refresh took too long) especially with SharePoint connections that can be extensively long and complex.

 

The technical answer is that 5** errors are server side and the malfunction is beyond Power BI.

 

There are a significant number of old solutions that could be explored for a solution. Ultimately I would recommend trying to optimise your sharepoint connector to only bring in exactly what you need.
