Hello SureshA,
From your description, it appears that the issue is occurring only with the Excel OData connection to Azure DevOps, while your Power BI connection continues to work fine.
Since this behavior is specific to Excel’s OData authentication and refresh, we recommend posting your question in the Microsoft Excel Community: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/microsoft365/discussions/excelgeneral
for targeted assistance the experts there can provide guidance specific to Excel’s connection and credential caching behavior.
