Dataflow not refreshing, no errors
- 2 years ago
Hi, gbz1
You can try the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Check data source connections: Make sure that all data source connections that the data stream depends on are valid and have not been accidentally changed or disconnected. If the data sources are databases or APIs, make sure that they have not undergone any changes (e.g., password changes, IP whitelist changes, etc.) that might prevent the data stream from accessing them.
2. View the data flow history: In the Power BI service, navigate to the Data Flow page and view the History section. Even if there are no errors, there may be some logs or messages about refresh attempts that may provide clues.
3. Check data flow dependencies: If the data flow depends on other data flows or datasets, make sure that those dependencies are also okay and that they also refresh successfully.
4. Check Power BI service status: Although you said you did not find information about the service outage, it is always good to check the status of the Power BI service again. Sometimes, even small service outages or performance issues can affect a refresh.
5. Check gateway configuration (if applicable): If your data source is on a local or private network and you are using a data gateway, make sure that the gateway is configured correctly and is running.
6. Check Capacity Settings: If you are using Power BI Premium capacity, make sure that the capacity has enough resources to handle refresh requests. The capacity may have reached its resource limit, causing refresh requests to be delayed or rejected.7 Try to recreate the data stream: If all else fails and you are confident that the problem is not with the data source or configuration, then trying to recreate the data stream may be a last resort. Of course, before doing so, make sure you have backed up all the necessary data and configuration.
I hope these suggestions will help you solve your problem!

I checked all applicable steps you posted and nothing helped, so unfortunately I just recreated the flow and updated our PBI reports to use the new dataflow.
Unfortunately also had to resort to same approach. Maybe the credentials broke somewhere in the middle, but even before that the flow would load 2 times. After that never had a successful run, so I had to split the dataflow into 2, like someone suggested on reddit, and reloaded the Data loading flow
