Cannot publish to PowerBi, A report has already been published with that name

I was previously able to publish an updated version of my report over the old one fine, but after updating PowerBi Desktop when publishing an existing report to my workspace in order to update one I recieve the error 'A report has already been published with this name. Please rename your file and publish again'. 
I have seen suggestions to copy and save over on the PowerBi site itself however this is not an option as it will require replacing links in numerous live locations. Is there a reason this is now an issue where it wasn't previously?

You said this happens in your personal workspace? Have you tried the same in a shared/premium workspace?
