Hello tw537 , 

Please check the Dataset Size Restrictions as Power BI has export limitations on the size of datasets. If the dataset you're trying to export is too large, it may fail to export

Hi tw537 ,

There are a number of restrictions on downloading pbix files for semantic modelling:

To download a .pbix file, you must be at least a Contributor in the workspace.

Semantic models with incremental refresh cannot be downloaded to a .pbix file.

Semantic models enabled for large semantic model storage format cannot be downloaded to a .pbix file.

Semantic models migrated from Azure Analysis Services using the Azure Analysis Services to Power BI Premium migration feature cannot be downloaded to a .pbix file.

Downloading post-deployment .pbix files in the deployment pipeline (ALM) is not supported.

Semantic models modified using XMLA endpoints cannot be downloaded to .pbix files.

Semantic models cannot be downloaded based on data imported from OneDrive that is applicable to work or school.

Downloading .pbix files larger than 1 GB is not supported.

Semantic models with automatic aggregation enabled cannot be downloaded to .pbix files. You must disable automatic aggregation training in the semantic model settings and remove the aggregation table by checking the Remove automatic aggregation table check box.

The list of restrictions here may not be complete, you can refer to all the restrictions mentioned in the official documentation below:
