Dataflows Failing to Refresh

I have a dozen or so dataflows, and three of them are failing to refresh. Each is returning a message that looks something like this:

"Error: The credentials provided for the PowerBI source are invalid. (Source at PowerBIInternal.). RootActivityId = 5f013467-2b75-42fd-9fb5-1893e41b83b8.Param1 = The credentials provided for the PowerBI source are invalid. (Source at PowerBIInternal.) Request ID: f19bfb6b-563e-8ee1-77ff-45343dab023d."

 

I've verified all credentials are entered properly. Dataflows with seemingly similar structures are refreshing fine, where others are not. I've tried changing my Power BI password and logging in an incognito tab and nothing seems to work.

Just got our dataflow to refresh successfully.  Sounds like there might have been an update that caused the issue and has since been reverted.  Hope everyone else is having successful refreshes now.

Didn't do anything, but mine are working now as well.  I guess MSFT messed something up on the backend and then fixed it!

Having the same issue - is there an update / ticket?

Is there a ticket we can follow?  This is a serious issue, even for PBI dataflows, which are riddled with issues...

Hi @tarmogolf , do the data source settings in the Power BI Service match your authentication type? If the issue persists, try clearing and re-entering the credentials or updating the gateway configuration if applicable.
