Strange Error - The credentials provided for the PowerPlatformDataflows source are invalid.

Hi,
I been have a strange issue today after I used one of our Dataflow inside a Dataset and tried refreshing the dataset on services. I keep getting the following error. However on the Dataset Settings screen, when I look at the "Data source Credential" dropdown, there is no option to "Edit Credentials" and it seems like everything is fine

PS: Dataflow is in the same workspace as the Dataset!

Any ideas on what could be happening here?

Changed the connector from PowerPlatform.Dataflow to "LEGACY Dataflow" and it now works!

Surpised that the new connector still has issues

I'm having a similar issue. I'm trying to edit a Refresh Schedule for a report where the data is coming from a Power Platform dataflow. The refresh schedule options are disabled since I get an error message on the data source credentials:

I changed one of the datasource connectors from Power Platform Dataflows to Power BI dataflows (Legacy) and the credentials work fine for that connector and I do not get an error message. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
