Error when refreshing report in Power BI

Hello,

 

I set to automatically update reports in Power BI Service. I am getting this error:

Before the data import for finished, its data source timed out. Double-check whether that data source can process import queries, and if it can, try again.

 

How I could resolve this issue?
