Exception on publishing PowerBI report


When publishing a PowerBI report, sometimes it fails out and you'll get a weird exception:

microsoft.powerbi.client.windows.services.powerbiwebexception

I spent far too long trying to find the answer, no records exist on how to fix this as of writing this post. Answer provided below.


Solution

  • From my observations, there seems to be a limit near 200~ reports per account. Note this is not data size ( storage ) we're talking about, but the volume ( count ) of reports.

    I don't know if additional app-workspaces affect the total number that causes the exception.

    The solution is to delete some reports in your PBI service environment.
