Refresh Failed - Internal Service Error
thanks v-jiascu-msft - I did just that. The support desk were very helpful.
The solution in my case was to remove the broken reports from the Online service and re-add them.
1 - Open the report(s) in PBI Desktop and clear the cache (file...options and settings... options)
2 - Refresh the data in the desktop and save.
3 - Open PBI Online and remove the associated dataset(s). Note - you'll need to remove the reports from any content packs before you can remove the reports and data from the online service. Also you might want to make a note of the (failed) refresh schedule you had before doing this so you can recreate it exactly.
4 - Hop back to PBI Desktop and publish the report from PBI Desktop to Online
5 - Hop back to PBI Online and set the refresh schedule back up
6 - Add the reports back into any apps or content packs.
Hope that helps.

It's these types of maintenance that start to question Microsoft's governance.
Try to imagine a big company having this impact on several datasets already used by many departments?
Lamentable the solution !!!
To me, that's really too amateurish!!! 🤔
