I have a report that has been failing on its scheduled refreshes for about a week now. I'm importing the data into my report from SQL Server and publishing it to a premium workspace where it is on an incremental refresh that processes once daily around midnight. Data is hosted on Azure so there is no on-prem gateway required. I get the following error: "Microsoft SQL: Unspecified error. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface". I have verified that the credentials are correct (both on desktop and on the web service), I have all of my queries coming from the same data source that is listed once under my Data Source Settings pane with all correct spelling and matching cases, I have checked the Advanced Editor to confirm all queries are structured the same, I did all filtering in Power Query on indexed columns, and I even tried publishing the same PBIX file to two new workspaces: the refresh works on one and fails on the other. We are using Power BI embedded so I need it to be successful on one specific workspace, where it's currently failing.
I can refresh on the desktop app locally just fine--it's a bit slow, but always has been as my largest query has around 6M rows. What's odd to me is that my scheduled refresh will spin for 9+ hours until we finally have to kill the process on the back end. I set the command timeout to 45 minutes on the desktop but I guess that does not carry over to the web service?
Does anyone have any tips on what else I can do to troubleshoot? Most of my research points to an issue with the credentials, but these have not changed and if that were the issue I wouldn't be seeing any successful refreshes at all. All my theories have been busted so far, any help would be much appreciated!
