Two or more API queries - refresh error

In Desktop version  I am using Function to get token and pass it  to actual json API queries (10+), but Function feels like doesn't work for API resfresh when I publish data to Power Bi, how can I get data for several queries without Function?
Curently I embed login & pass into each query header & I am getting error on refresh.
In my case token is valid for 15 min, every time I call I am getting new token.

Problem is solved by edit time delay between queries.

I am using this query type for each report, so I could have 10+ queries for one data set.

 

let
 authKey = "{""Username"":""USERNAME"",""Password"":""PASSWORDGOESHERE"",""LocationID"":""LOCATIONIFNEEDED""}",
 url = "https://APILINKGOESHERE.com",
 // Uses the authentication/token method to obtain a token
 GetJson = Web.Contents(url,
     [
         Headers = [#"Content-Type"="application/json"],
         Content = Text.ToBinary(authKey),
         RelativePath="/Authentication/AuthorizeUser"
     ]
 )
in
    GetJson

 

Problem is solved by edit time delay between queries.
