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.

Hi Anonymous,

 

Please go to the Refresh History and find the record about that failed schedule refresh. Click the Show button to get detail error message, copy all this details and paste here. I will try to send your information internally to analyze the reason.
