Dataflow Instability: Successful refresh but no data loaded

We have been using 20 to 30 dataflows for approximately two years without issue (aside from slow response times). Recently, we have two dataflows that "successfully" refresh but do not actually store the data. 

 

Since this is occuring in a DF with a SQL server as a source AND a DF with multiple DFs as sources, we do not think it is a source issue. 

 

Since this issue occurs on a DF that will load partial data (all of 2023, all of 2022, all of 2023 and part of 2022 - but not all of 2022 and 2023), we do not think that this is related to a step or transormation interaction with the underlying data (because everything will load, but not a once). 

 

We are completely dependent upon two to three layers of DFs for our reporting. If we cannot solve for this issue, we will be forced to migrate quickly onto another platform (which is horribly problematic). 

 

We are unfamiliar with any settings that we can change to avoid this behavior and have not experienced it until recently. 

 

Any thoughts or ideas are welcomed because we at a loss for additional fixes to explore.
