1.  Check the SFAPI Audit logs (SF Instance -> Admin Tools -> SFAPI Audit Tools) and filter on the failed session ID recieved in PI or the Operation or the SFAPI Entity. You will see when the last call was made.

3.  Check SFAPI User settings in SuccessFactors Instance -> Admin Tools -> Password and Login Policy Settings and check the “Maximum Successive Failed Login Attempts”. If the value is not set to '0' ( normally it is adviced to Set to value to 0 to disable this option; The system will lock a user account if successive failed login attempts exceed what  the policy allows, within a 1minute period.) then this will help you to confirm that the SFAPI User is locked.
4.  Now, if the User was Locked, go to Admin Tools (in SF Instance) -> Reset User Account. Screenshot Below

 5. Search for the SFAPI User and check the Status of the user. You will find that the status is marked as ‘x’ which means that the user is locked.
