Intermittent SharePoint Connection Authentication Issue in Microsoft Fabric
Hello SanyamSingh2119,
Based on your description, it doesn't appear to be a SharePoint permissions issue, since re-authenticating the connection immediately restores access.
A few things I'd recommend checking:
* Verify whether the OAuth access token or refresh token is expiring and not being renewed correctly.
* Confirm that your organization's Conditional Access or MFA policies aren't forcing periodic re-authentication for SharePoint connections.
* Check whether the account used for the connection has experienced any password changes or credential updates.
* Review the Fabric Capacity and Service Health pages to see if there are any known issues related to SharePoint connections.
Since recreating or re-authenticating the connection consistently resolves the problem, this may indicate a token refresh issue or a service-side limitation rather than a configuration problem.
If the behavior is consistently reproducible, I'd recommend opening a Microsoft Fabric support ticket and providing the correlation ID and timestamp from the failure.
This will allow the product team to investigate whether the connection's OAuth token refresh is failing.
