The credentials provided for the Snowflake source are invalid.

Hi, 

I have published a report which pulls data from snowflake server. I have published this to service and have updated the credentials and setup the scheduled refresh. All worked fine for a long time but since last friday, i keep getting the below error. When i give the credentials again the report gets refreshed perfectly and probably even certain scheduled refresh work fine but all of a sudden again the error pops up. I am assuming this to be a powerbi tenant issue coz i am not facing this issue with any other client or our own ord snwoflake server. Also this is happening to this report alone.  

report_name has failed to refresh.
Failure details: The credentials provided for the Snowflake source are invalid. (Source at snowflake_server)

Next refresh for report_name is scheduled for September 23, 2021 12:30 UTC.

Screenshots of the refreshes 

Any help will be much appreciated, this is one of the major issues from Clients perspective as they depend on this report a lot. And these issues are kind of reliability issues which is making the client rethink on power bi as their choice of reporting/self service bi tool.

Have the same issue refresh is taking too long. I republish and works but in scheduled refresh don't. 

Also went to DAX and seems to be less weight in Capacity than other reports

Hi Have you continuted to exprence this issue.  I have exprenced the same thing. 

• The report is using a service principal account.

pattern of events

• The report runs for weeks with no log on issues.
• It will fail 4 times in a row. with the  "The credentials provided for the Snowflake source are invalid." Message
• I will update the credentials with the exact same credentials that it had before. 
• The refresh will function as expected.
• The cycle will repeat.

Hello @sunildatalytyx ,

Were you able to solve this issue? 

I am facing the exactly same error message when trying to implement an incremental refresh do my report's dataset. When running the very first dataset load, Power BI service starts it and I can confirm queries are hitting Snowflake.  Though, all of a sudden the error message pops up and the dataset is now refresh.

In addition, I have this same report using the same dataset runnig a full refresh, without the incremental. This is running ok taking about 1 hours to finish.

We are trying to implement the incremental load to see if we can reduce refreshing time.

Cheers.

Thanks @Anonymous for the response. As i mentioned, all this was configured and the report was working fine for more than a month. Our IT team thinks that this might be token issue. However credentials failing/invalid error only for one report is quite surprising, there are number of reports which are using the same server and credentials
