Dataflow error when refreshing

When refreshing a dataflow from time to time this error appears. Most of the times the dataflow refreshes without any problem. The dataflow takes the data from SAP BW over the gateway with Power Automate. The error message is below, I replaced the ID's with "id here" and "another id here". I saw that there were some other posts about the same error message but in these posts the dataflows were linked to entities. My dataflow however is linked "directly" to SAP BW. Especially, this "Cannot acquire lock for model" is unhelpful.

 

Problem updating your dataflow. {"RootActivityId":"id here" "ErrorMessage":"Cannot acquire lock for model 'another id here' because it is currently in use."}
