Dear members
Hope that you all are doing great. I am writing here to resolve a google sheets connector error. Below is the detail. I would really appreciate any help in this regard.
I have a report having various data sources. One data source is a google sheet connected through Power BI/Google Sheets connector.
Sometimes scedule refresh fails to refresh the report and when I do a manual refresh it works. Sometimes manaul refresh aslo doesn't work. I started receiving these error recently. I think just a week or two ago. Below is the error text.
Data source error: {"error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError","pbi.error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError","parameters":{},"details":[{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorCode","detail":{"type":1,"value":"-2147467259"}},{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorMessage","detail":{"type":1,"value":"<ccon>Web.Contents failed to get contents from 'https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/1SFaLvXgIV0lYpSonpwCTw1Y7XCW9Rsws9_cQQVFb9oo?fields=sh...'

Hi @rashidanwar ,
You got a 429 too many request error from the error message, it simply means that there are a lot of requests from the user’s end. When the requests are beyond capacity for the web servers, your browser will crash and display the code.
I suggest you change the time of the schedule refresh, maybe there're other refreshes at the same time. Then, try to clear the browser cache.
