The remote name could not be resolved: 'api.powerbi.com'

On powerbi.com our reports sometimes fail to refresh with this error (scheduled refresh). There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with settings, and the refresh will often succeed if refreshed on demand. What could this be?

Underlying error code:-2147467259

    Hi, can you share more info like what are your datasources? how are you connecting those? the error sounds like you have a web connector to the powerbi rest api, if that's not the case we need more details about the error.

    Regards

      Our main datasources are SQL server through a gateway and web datasources (csv/Excel files on SharePoint), sometimes Power BI Dataflows.

    Getting the same error by connecting to dataflows. Was there any solution in the end?
