We are getting the same error message. This started yesterday for us. And, yes, this is occurring when trying to export data from table visuals.

We found a weird workaround. If you first manually export the data (clicking on the ellipsis, then select "Export data" then export using any of the options) and then trigger the code (for us it's clicking a button) that calls visual.exportData, it works.

That doesn't work for us. The code still fails even after a manual export.
