powerbi an exception occurred due to an on premise service issue

I am accessing one SQL Server DB using direct query.  This report works fine for varying lengths of time but then stops working with the error AN EXCEPTIONS OCCURRED DUE TO AN ON PREMISE SERVICE ISSUE.  We checked if there was an SQL activity (backups etc.) going on to interrupt it but none.

 

We run a subscription report to track when it fails and there is no consistency. 

 

When we refresh the report it usually starts working again, sometime we have to go and refresh the connections or on premise gateway.

 

Any ideas?

We got this as well with DirectQuery with a table visual. Something weird I noticed- on the date slicer if it's "Last [x] Months", it can be 1,2,3,4 and it works fine (it's March). It can even be "Last 1 Years" and it runs fine (2 seconds). But when we try filtering on the much smaller "This Year" it times out and produces that error.

 

Edited to add: The initial Direct Query works fine. It's after filtering on a category slicer from another table (joined by relationship) and THEN adjusting the date slicer to "This Year" that it does this for me.
