Hi NithyaKB,
Have you tested with the same credentials which you work on the power bi desktop side? Power bi service required you to use the same configurations as the report designed on the desktop.
In addition, can you please share more detailed information about these? They will help us clarify your scenario and test to troubleshooting.

Yes I have been using the same credentials which has been used to configure the reports in desktop.Additionally the report was getting refreshed till last week without any problem.The refresh problem started all of a sudden.HI NithyaKB,
What region that you power bi service host? If these datasource works smoothly at the present and suddenly failed, they may be related to the Azure data center service.
You can contact to power bi team to confirm these scenarios.
