    Hi PBITA 

    You cannot refresh in Power BI Service without entering credentials in Settings=>Dataset=> Data source credentials .

    So you need update your credentials then you can set scheduled refresh or refresh automatically in Power BI Service .

    Sign in with your account that can access your Power BI Service .

    When you update your credentials in Data source credentials ,you can see like this .

    Then you can try to refresh automatically ,you can see the result in Refresh history .If it successfully ,the Status is Completed .

    Best Regards

keep refreshing your OAUTH2 token in the dataset credentials section.  Annoying but there isn't much else you can do.

    It's not really a failure. Tokens should expire.  It would be nice if they would do so in predictable fashion.

      I tried more 20+ times to update the credential, it never work. I guess I have to give up here, frustrating....
