I am getting <ReadChunkWithRetries>, IDbCommmand Interface Issue while refreshing Power BI reports

I am getting the below error message while refreshing the power bi in desktop and also in the services (both manual and scheduled refresh).

 

 

This is happening for all the reports.

Following things i tried:
1- I updated the version to Aug 2025 of Power BI Desktop, unchecked the Use Google Big Query Option from Preview Feature, Removed the 2.0 from the Advanced Query Editor and again tried to refresh it. but it didn't worked.

2- I tried to do the same with another internet.

3- I tried the same on another laptop.

4- I just removed the 2.0 and uncheck the use google option from preview feature and published the report on power bi services but still refresh is not working.

Please if anyone faced the same issue, and resolved it kindly let me know.

Thank you folks.

    We have resolved the issue using the below steps:

     

    Process for Working on Power BI Reports (Big Query Connector Issue)

    • APPROACH 1
    1. Open Power BI Desktop and go to:
      • File → Options and Settings → Options → Preview Features
      • Uncheck: Use New Google BigQuery Connector Implementation (if it is checked).

     



    1. In Power Query, ensure that all data sources are set as:

    GoogleBigQuery.Database()

           and not as:

          GoogleBigQuery.Database([Implementation=2.0])

      • If you see [Implementation=2.0], simply remove that parameter.
      • Repeat this check for all tables.
    1. Save and Apply the changes.
    1. Try refreshing the entire dataset to confirm it works.
    2. Once verified, you can proceed with publishing.



    • APPROACH 2:
    1. Uninstall the current Power BI Desktop from your system.
    2. Install the older version of Power BI Desktop: Version 2.144.1155.0.

     

     

    1. After Installation, repeat all the steps from 1-5 from APPROACH 1

    Hi praveenk924730,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. This error (Cannot execute<ReadChunkWith

    Retries>… after 5 tries) usually indicates that the connection between Power BI and your data source is failing at the command/query level. Since you’ve already tried different machines and networks, the issue is not local.

    Please try these steps. In Power BI Service go to Dataset then Settings and then Data source credentials, now re-enter and save the credentials. If you’re using a gateway, make sure it’s online, updated to the latest version, and the data source is mapped correctly. Now test by creating a new PBIX that connects only to the “Opportunity Analysis Data” table, if it fails, the problem is with the connector/source, not your report.

    If the issue persists, open a Microsoft support ticket and provide the Activity ID, Request ID, and Timestamp from the error message. You can reach out to Microsoft Support by raising a ticket with Microsoft Support. Please refer below link on how to raise a contact support or support ticket.

    If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.  

    Best Regards,
    Hammad.
