Hey,

I get the following error constantly recently for all kinds of sources also where no token has ever been issued or where I set a token only 2 months ago. Whats the root cause?

The refresh token has expired due to inactivity. The token was issued on 2023-11-21T12:57:09.4086913Z and was inactive for 90.00:00:00.

Thanks in advance

Sarah

Having this same error in some of our users' dashboards. Can we get a resolution or troubleshooting steps soon?

A similar error message happened to a semantic model which is connected to a dataflow.

"Workspace X" (PPU) \ "Y Dataflow" -> Connected to on-premise MSSQL table (Import mode)

"Workspece Z" (PRO - APP Development) \ "T Semantic model" -> Connected to "Y Dataflow"

Dataflow has been created today

Workspece Z has been created today

Semantic model and report has been published today

Hi @SarahAlsterspre ,

The default inactive survival period for a refresh token is 90 days. This means that if a refresh token is not used to obtain a new access token within this time period, the token will expire due to inactivity.

You can set up scheduled refreshes, and this method helps keep the refresh token active.

For more details, please refer:

Hey,

thanks for the suggestion. I set automatic refreshes and they used to work fine. Now I often get this error after having refreshed it 1 or 2 days before. For example I got this error again last night: 

{"error":{"code":"DMTS_OAuthTokenRefreshFailedError","pbi.error":{"code":"DMTS_OAuthTokenRefreshFailedError","details":[{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorMessage","detail":{"type":1,"value":"AADSTS700082: The refresh token has expired due to inactivity. The token was issued on 2023-11-21T12:57:09.4086913Z and was inactive for 90.00:00:00. Trace ID: 8fcfae61-f73f-4690-8f41-ac99d1480500 Correlation ID: 1eccbabf-f476-4535-96bc-22399335bf98 Timestamp: 2024-05-31 03:16:57Z"}}],"exceptionCulprit":1}}} Table: Daten - Sistrix - Sichtbarkeitsindex.

the table "Daten - Sistrix ..." has been created 3 weeks ago. So the refresh token for this source could not have been issued back in 2023.
