Report with Power BI dataset as data source can't be refreshed online

I have set a Power BI dataset as the data source for a report ("DirectQuery in AS - Power BI dataset"). The report is working fine in desktop and can be refreshed, but I am not able to refresh the dataset using Power BI Online. I get the error message:


Something went wrong
Refresh failed because this semantic model requires a gateway. Please select a gateway from semantic model settings.
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.

If I then try to select my "Personal Gateway", I get this error message:

Failed to use the selected gateway. Please make sure the gateway is up and running and try again.

Ok good. I would also check to see if the data source has been added to the gateway and that you have set up the right user permissions. Here is additional information:

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/new-data-source-and-gateway-management-experience/

 

All tested, but i don't see, where could be a problem. Now i don't see anymore the visuals, but got:

 

"An error occurred in power bi premium backend services"

 

Maybe, because i do not have a Premium Account (but only Pro)?

Hi @GeorgW ,

 Have to tried to verify that your personal gateway is running?

 

Here is some additional information on troubleshooting personal gateways:

Yes, the gateway is running and works fine with my other reports...
