Power Automate Visual not working properly on PowerBI desktop

I was using Power Automate Visual inside Power BI for some time (6 months) and everything was running smoothly.
However, since last week all i'm getting from Power Automate is this empty screen when trying to edit it inside POWERBI:

Does anyone know how to solve it?
Steps i've already tried:
1- Asking my colleague to open it from his computer.
2- Restarting my computer
3- Reinstalling POWERBI
4- Power Automate Cloud Flows are okay on the web version.
5- Tried to create a new dashboard, same error on it.

 

We noticed that the power automate is working properly on the web version of power BI, however it is not viable to keep editing BI via the web version.

 

Thanks in advance!

I'm now experiencing this exact same issue with Power BI Desktop Version: 2.114.664.0 64-bit (February 2023) published on 2/14/2023. I created the Power Automate flow prior to this latest version and it loaded fine. I've edited it multiple times as recently as yesterday (2/15/2023). Also on 2/15/2023, for the first time I 1) edited the flow in the PBI service [added a run-only user] and 2) edited this flow in Power Automate [service not Power Automate embedded in my PBI Desktop model]. This makes me think that this "bug" might be triggered when you edit a Power Automate flow (created in PBI Desktop) in either the PBI service or Power Automate service...or when you add run-only users. Those are the only two things I've done differently and since then the Power Automate "edit" page won't load in PBI Desktop. Edit works fine in PBI service and Power Automate service.
