Advocate II found a workaround that resolved the issue for me.
In the query code, look for queries having the `[Implementation="2.0"]` parameter:
`= Value.NativeQuery(GoogleBigQuery.Database([Implementation="2.0"])`
and replace them with
`= Value.NativeQuery(GoogleBigQuery.Database()`
by deleting `[Implementation="2.0"]`
It seems that `[Implementation="2.0"]` is the newer version that has recently stopped working in Service refreshes, and the older implementation is still working fine.
I had the same issue as the OP and this actually solved my problem. Thanks a lot!
