Since last Saturday 6/4/2024 afternoon, online sharepoint list datasets refresh failed and offline.  These datasets are connected via data gateway as other datasets are on-perm SQL. Attempted to fix the OAuth credentials but failed with error messages.

Micorsoft already had Sharepoint issue on 19/3 with empty table read by PowerBI.
