    I'm not sure what is going on.  The visual I see is static, and I suspect it launched your browser when it was returning html.  To see the animated visual on your Power BI report page, I suspect you are going to need to create a custom visual following the steps described here.

    Here is the static chart I see with your example data.

    Attached is the pbix, in case it is useful to you.

    No pro license needed, as it is all with Power BI Desktop.  Does the R visual work for you with simpler R?

    If not, it is something with your R configuration.  If so, I'm not sure what's going on.
