Power BI dataset refresh error — what it means and how to fix it.

What this means

An OAuth2 token expires roughly 1 hour into a long refresh and the gateway cannot auto-renew it.

How to fix it

Shorten the refresh to under 1 hour (use incremental refresh).
Re-enter the OAuth credentials.
Split large loads so no single refresh runs past the token lifetime.
