I've been receiving the same error code. However it is on a dataflow that has been active and successfully refreshing on the Power BI Service until recently.

had similar issue pop up. it was a SharePoint connection issue, specifically failing on the line below:

Source = SharePoint.Contents(url, [ApiVersion = 15])

 

Changed the above as follows and it worked:

Source = SharePoint.Contents(url)

 

Note, also had to change the next step as well (since folder structure slightly changed). Been much more stable.
