Dataset refresh failure for SharePoint data source

Hi All,

 

I have developed a report using SharePoint as a data source in Power BI desktop and previously schedule refreshes are working fine. After few days that keeps failing for the reason listed below. It fails every day but then it will run a refresh and refresh successfully. Could anyone tell me how to resolve this so that it never fails?

It's "normal" to get these intermittently, but it shouldn't happen every time. Maybe try switching the time of day that it runs? If the refresh time is left on the default almost everything tries to refresh at midnight and it can create a bit of a log jam.
