PowerPivot Data Refresh Error: Please try again in a little while

Question

I scheduled data refresh on a power pivot but I'm getting this error.

Here is ULS logs. How can I solve this issue? Any suggestion? What does "Please try again in a little while" means? :/

Also there isn't any file at that location.

SharePoint 2016 web application config file must be updated. The default value is 250MB and the report which scheduled data refresh should not exceed this value.
