Recommended Fix:https://support.microsoft.com/en-sg/help/2964762/fix-event-id-22-or-error-0xc1000016-will-be-logged-...

As per recommendation we upgraded SQL Server -

We upgraded to latest packs -

SQL Server 2014 SP2 CU10 Developer version

Client has SQL Server SP2 CU8 for Enterprise version

Frequency of the error reduced after CU10 upgrade but still it appears. Please suggest.

Hi @Anonymous,

Based on my research, this should be a limitation that the Power BI desktop connect live to SSAS cube Standard version. See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-gateway-enterprise-manage-ssas#limitations-of-analysis-services-live-connections

If there are Enterprise edition, please test with SSAS Enterprise version cube to see if the same issue occurs.
