Desktop error after Live connection dataset refresh (cannot load model)

[tommy_g]

I am working with a live connection to a standard Power BI Dataset (shared). 

I find I am receiving the following error frequently.

It appears to be correlated with dataset refreshes on the service.

For example, working fine at 7:55pm. Fails at 8:15pm, which is just after completion of a scheduled refresh.

I have not found a way to recover other than closing and reopening the PBIX file.

Thanks. I did not know about the "Issues" forum, but this seems to be an "issue".

I will re-post there.

I'm still not sure how to classify this problem. The operative theory is that a refresh on the server breaks my current "live" connection. Hence the "delete, renamed, moved" comment. I can only assume a refresh recreates the dataset as a separate entity and when completely loaded, the "transaction" is committed and the original connection is broken. (still thinking like a SQL Server dev)

It does not appear to be an authentication issue in Desktop.
