Web URL connection appearing twice

I have added a url connection to my model and it has appeared in the list of connections twice      If I map it in the top box it clears the bottom box and vice-versa   I also get the mess...

OK. Overnight the error changed, not sure what changed but we have a different error now

 

Error now says "We timed out waiting for javascript to retrieve the contents of the web page."

    Ok. Now it looks like the error is about getting the data from the web. Are you scrapping the web? the code behind it is taking too long and there might be a timeout for the function you are using. For example, if you are using web.browsercontent, you can read there are parameters to help you wait longer
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/web-browsercontents

    Check how long it takes from power bi desktop. If it takes too long there might be a problem, if it's fast you can just change the parameter of the function. Read the examples of the link to know better the power query code.

    I hope that helps
