    Thanks Frank, I will check on those things.  My data sources are all over the board.  some are on-prem SQL, some are Excel files in OneDrive, and some might still be network shared Excel files.

     

    I didn't think about updating my personal Gateway, so I will look into that too.  I have Power BI Desktop from the Windows Store and it auto updates to my Windows 10 PC.  I forgot that the Gateway is separate.

     

    I actually made it through the rest of the day with no more errors, so it could have been my companies network too, or just a hiccup with the service...just thought I would put this out there to see if others were having the same issue.
