Issue with Data Refresh in Power BI Service - Token Expiry Error
Hi notsobad__ ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
In Power BI Desktop, you interact directly with the data source, bypassing the token expiration policies that apply to Power BI Service. When you refresh data locally, you authenticate directly with the data source, avoiding token expiration issues.
Power BI Service, being cloud-based, handles authentication and tokens differently. The service requires regular token usage to keep sessions active. Periods of inactivity cause token expiration, leading to errors when refreshing data in the cloud.
If this post helps, then please give us Kudos and consider Accept it as a solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
Thank you.
