All of the sudden scheduled refresh stopped and getting invalid connection credentials in Power BI Service, can't change anything under data source credentials in settings-says failed to test the connection to your data source. Can manually refresh with no errors and publish but still getting the error message in PBI service after publishing. (image below)

Also gateway showing "unknown error" when I check status under data sources and click status shows unknown error (Under on-premise data gateways it says online)
Error code: DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_ImpersonationError
Data source error: The on-premises data gateway's service account failed to impersonate the user.

have updated gateway.
I donh't know what to check and what to do, not sure if all related. I can connect to everything without error in desktop
I have tried to submit a ticket to support but it won't let me select severity issue (there is no dropdown) but won't let me submit ticket without that field.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thank you for the response but even on the admin (which controlled gateway) it would say this same thing but no credentials required)-screenshot below.
I did however by trial and error got everything working.
For someone else,
1. Updated gateway (this needed to be done so didn't resolve issue right away but maybe helped eventually)
2. Added gateway to azure (used the gateway admin account)
3. selected to Skip test connection in gateway config within Power BI (got rid of unknown error or impersonation error on gateway)-after step 2&3- gateway went online
4. This is weird as we've never had to do this but I couldn't see the credentials in there before but I changed credentials on the sql server datasource using that gateway from the admin credentials to my current windows creds & password (this seems like it could be a problem when our passwords change but I'll make note.)
NOTE:
It seems like Power BI needs to update their troubleshooting guides and more information to help in resolving error messages. There was no one place to check everything, I found help through here mostly reading tons and tons of Q&A of what other people did just clicking around themselves. They also really work to prevent people opening support tickets. Thank goodness for the community sharing their own experiences.
Hi @electrobrit
The
Is grayed out...seems like you need to take control of the Gateway (Someone else is in control)
