Tableau Bridge client will fail to refresh extracts with no error message being emailed, or get stuck on hanging extracts.
The refresh token on the Bridge client has expired and needs to be renewed.
To resolve this issue, unlink and relink your Bridge client with the Tableau Cloud site. This can be done through the following steps:
1. Select the gear icon on the Tableau Bridge client.
2. Select Unlink, and then select Ok.
3. Reopen the Bridge client and re-authenticate to your Tableau Cloud site.
Important note: If you have any Bridge Legacy Schedules, unlinking your client will require you to re-create the schedules to re-assign them back to the client. Bridge Legacy Schedules will be removed in Tableau Cloud version 2025.1 and users are recommended to migrate existing legacy jobs to Bridge Refresh Schedules. See: Migrate from Bridge Legacy to Bridge Refresh Schedules
