Time Out error connecting to Salesforce in Power BI dataflow

I am having an issue with my Power BI dataflow timing out after only 5 minutes.  I created the dataflow to pull in a Salesforce object.  It was refreshing but then it stopped.  I tried hitting refresh today, but it failed again.  When I opened the dataflow & then resaved it, it refreshed.  Any ideas?

Error: Data Source Error : DataSource.Error: The operation has timed out

Thank you so much for the information.  I do have Supermetrics.  We ended up having our DEs use APIs to send the SF data to the Azure datalake & then we use databricks to access it there.  This has worked great.

Thank you.  Could you explain this part more?  I wonder if it was causing the issue.  What does it mean per application?  I had 4 dataflows all refreshing at the same time at 12:00 am.  They were pulling from 5 different objects.  Plus I had a different dataflow that had kicked off at 11:30 pulling SF data that was still refreshing at that time.  Tuesday, I split out the times the refresh kicks off on the dataflows and  haven't had an issue yet. 

  • A valid authentication token is required for refresh. Salesforce has a limit of five authentication tokens per application so make sure you've five or less Salesforce data sets imported.
