schedule refresh lost credentials

Hello,   Why is it that from time to time the Schedule Refresh setup losses some of the credentials? In spite no changes have occurred to them?

    Hi Anonymous

     

    From my experience this is if you save your Power BI Desktop into the Power BI Service, it will overwrite the current credentials. Which will mean that you will need to edit the credentials again.

    AnonymousSRLyman Can you change it to use OAuth2 and enter the credetial for the dataset again? Please check if schedule refresh is successfull after you set the credential.

GilbertQ, that is interesting.

You mean, whenever I publish the PBI Desktop to the PBIService the credentials need updating?

I could understand (sort of) why would it trigger such behaviour.

But in my case, the credentials got lost without me publishing it.
