This is a generic publish failure while pushing a PBIR/Project (“definition.pbir”). It usually happens due to a transient service issue, an outdated Desktop build, or a PBIR project bug. Try these quick fixes in order:
Update Power BI Desktop to the latest build, then retry.
If you opened a Power BI Project (.pbip), export to a .pbix (File > Export > Power BI Desktop (.pbix)) and publish the PBIX instead. PBIR publish is flaky.
Publish to a different workspace (not “My workspace”) and make sure you’re Member/Contributor.
Sign out/in; clear cache (Options > Data Load > Clear cache) and clear credentials (Data source settings).
Try a different network or disable VPN/proxy; check status.powerbi.com for outages.
Remove special characters/very long paths from the report name or folder and retry.
Still failing? Turn on tracing (Options > Diagnostics), reproduce the publish, and share the latest trace with Support along with the Session ID shown in the dialog.
