Super UserCosmosDB Account Key stopped working for dataset refresh on PowerBI Service
Hi,
I have made a simple report based on an Azure CosmosDB database. I have an account key which worked in PowerBI desktop to set up the datasource, do the query and publish. The published report was set to auto-refresh daily, and that worked fine for a few weeks, until a few days ago I started getting credential error (both for scheduled refresh, and trying manually on the PowerBI service).
I know the account key still works because I can still refresh with the same credentials in PowerBI desktop, and then republish the report and the data would update. It is just the refresh through PowerBI service that is broken for some reason.
I found this thread with a similar problem, but the accepted solution there does not help me.
If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, your suggestions are most welcome. It is quite cumbersome otherwise to open and re-publish from desktop every time I want to update the dataset.

Hi dk_dk,
Could you provide some screenshots of your issue?

Hi v-xulin-mstf ,
See the screenshots above. When I click edit credentials and enter the Account key for the cosmos db I get the above error, with status code 400.
However, I am able to manually refresh the same dataset in powerbi desktop using the same credentials, and then publish the updated report to the powerbi service. I have tried all 4 privacy level settings as a troubleshooting step - same error every time.
