I have a Power Apps Dataflow to get information from Dynamics 365 Business Central that is using an OData connection. It has automatic refreshes scheduled 5 times a day. You would think a connection to another Microsoft platform within the same Microsoft 365 tenant would be stable, but it is not. The dataflow is erratic. For instance, it might fail at 8AM, be fine for 2 days and 9 syncs later, and then fail at 11AM on the 3rd day.

There are no other dataflows in the environment. We have the data connection pointing to a development Business Central environment so little to no user interaction with Business Central environment. We have the dataflow in a development Power Platform environment; again little to no user interaction.

Any ideas why a dataflow would be this erratic and fail sometimes, but not always?
