You can remove the failing data sources in data source setting.

Hi Anonymous
I applied your suggestion and the link that you share. These are mostly 3 types,
1) Remove the failing data sources in the data source setting
2) Edit permission - Edit Credential then close and apply
3) Clear all permission from data source setting and recreate with new credentials.
Right now, I only have one data source connection and which works fine (not failing) in power bi desktop. I also made a report. as I publish it into service. I got this message of connection error. also I put same credentials as of power bi desktop. I also did above 3 steps, Edit permission and check, it didn't work and then Clear all permission, recreate with new credentials but it shows same message I send in question. and I am using Postgresql databse connection
Please Let me know any details required,
and If you have ay alternative solution please do share.
Thanks,
