Persistent Refresh Failures in Power BI Service

We have been experiencing a persistent issue with our Power BI Service for the past few months, and despite our efforts to resolve it using various solutions available online, we have been unable to achieve a resolution.

 

Issue: Every day, a few reports in our Power BI Service are encountering refresh failures with the following error message: "The last refresh attempt failed because of an internal service error. This is usually a transient issue. If you try again later and still see this message, contact support"

 

error json:

 

error": 
"code": "DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError",
"pbi.error": {
"code": "DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError",
"parameters": {}

 

"detail": {
"type": 1,
"value": "<ccon>ODBC: ERROR [08S01] server closed the connection unexpectedly\n\tThis probably means the server terminated abnormally\n\tbefore or while processing the request.\n;\nThe connection has been lost</ccon>"}

Hi  @Developer_user 

So what are the data sources corresponding to these reports ? Can these reports  be refreshed normally before?

Yes, it was refreshing in the past, but we have been experiencing this issue for the past few months.

We are only using Postgres as a data source.
