Hi @Sanskruti ,

 

Please open the report or dashboard that uses this semantic model and keep it active and it will work properly again.

As the documentation explains:After two months, when no user has visited any dashboard or report built on the semantic model, Power BI considers the semantic model inactive.To resume scheduled refresh, visit a report or dashboard built using this semantic model or manually refresh the semantic model using the Refresh Now option.

You can refer to:Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

Hope it helps!

Nobody looked at the report. It already re-enabled itself (as the message states) but the same will happen again if nobody uses that report.  If you don't want to see this notificiation (not an error!) then use the report.
