Email subscription: something went wrong - unable to load the model
Hi,
My users frequently get the following 'something went wrong' message instead of the subscription email.
It doesn't happen every day, but approximately once a week.
Since this is an image we can't click on the link to see the technical details. It there something we can do about this?
FYI: we are on premium capacity, the underlying report refreshes normally and we are on version 13.0.6109.164
Thank you in advance!

Same issue here. On prem gateway refreshing from SQL Server database. No refresh errors, but still these "sorry, somthing went wrong" messages in the subscription email.
It seems to happen against reports running against larger, more complicated datasets, could this be a factor?

Same here. However, it works maybe once a week for us. I've tried recereating the subscriptions many times. There's nothing wrong when you go to the report directly.

BTW, I have several subscriptions to different data sets and reports. Some work, some don't*. Nothing that immediately indicates why one does work and another doesn't, although it is consistent across pages of the same report whether it works or not.
*When I say "works", I mean works most of the time, and when I say "don't" I mean it doesn't work most of the time. It is never 100% for either case.

Hi Anonymous,
Please check whether this dashboard is still viewable in Power BI service. Whether the same error prompts if we open report in service. Have you checked if there was any error in Refresh History in Power BI Service?
Besides, how about deleting the subscription and re-create the subscription?

Hi All,
This is a known issue.The fix will take about 3 months from now. Until then, please apply the below workaround.
Workaround to fix the failed report subscriptions:
- For a report that you are seeing the failure on in subscription email, you need to individually pin each visual to a new dashboard (DO NOT use "Pin Live Page" on report) . Then, add the subscription to this new dashboard
- Perform step (a) for all reports that you are facing the issue on
Workaround to fix the failed dashboard subscriptions:
- The dashboard subscription email have failure, since the dashboard has a Live page pinned to it.
- To fix this, you should create a new dashboard but instead of Pin live page from report, you should pin each visual on the report(s) to this new dashboard, and add email subscription to the dashboard.

Is there a ticket that we can reference to track this issue?

I am having the same issue. I submitted a ticket to Microsoft so we will see what they say.
- tarmbrusterRegular Visitor
The response from Microsoft below. Now, the workaround they suggested was literally a cut-and paste from a previous post on this thread. Basically, don't use the report subscriptions feature, and only use the dashboard subscriptions.
