Please let me know if anyone is aware of this

Yes, you are right! the System administrator has become inactive.

But not sure how it become inactive. Any possibilities you can think of on why it became inactive? I'm not a system administrator. and the list is showing that the inactive is done by me.

You shouldn't mark your answer as correct mate.

Oh, sorry! My mistake. Marked correctly now

It is a security best practice (in many systems) to rename/inactivate/remove the default admin account.

There is no need to actually run this as System Administrator.  I would recommend creating a new dedicated user with no roles (generally called performance.analytics).  Run your job as that user.  Scripts run as this user, but the normal data collection for the indicator source bypasses ACL so admin is an overkill.
