Direct quote from the NET:

This is the Launch Director on the countdown NET. Called a hold for an issue with our droneship. Unable to maintain power to allow us to proceed with launch on time, and we simply ran out of time. At this point we're proceeding with propellant offload. Once we complete that and TEA/TEB sweeps, we'll prepare to lower the vehicle. And we'll address a helium leak on the second stage QD interface. And we'll set up for a 24 hour recycle.

And SpaceX tweet confirming the 2 issues, OCISLY, and helium quick disconnect leak.

Standing down today due to an electrical issue on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship. Teams will also address the ground side helium leak before tomorrow's backup launch opportunity at 2:48 a.m. EDT, 6:48 UTC.

Good thing about being close to port, time to come back for repairs:

Drone Ship Power Issue Forces Scrub of CRS-17 Launch

James Cawley Posted on May 3, 2019

This morning’s launch attempt has scrubbed due to a drone ship power issue. The next launch opportunity will be at 2:48 a.m. EDT Saturday, May 4.

Launch coverage for the SpaceX CRS-17 mission to the International Space Station will begin at 2:30 a.m. EDT on NASA Television and the agency’s website. A launch of the SpaceX cargo Dragon spacecraft on Saturday will result in its arrival at the space station on Monday, May 6.

Remember, there were two, not just one, issues that scrubbed the launch on 3 May:
1. Drone Ship power issue and
2. Helium leak on ground side of the Stage 2 Quick Disconnect.

Hard to be completely sure, but I believe this is the defective generator coming off of OCISLY a few mins ago. @nextspaceflight @SpaceXFleet @SpaceXUpdates @julia_bergeron @NASA_Nerd
