New-PowerBIReport ignoring Timeout

[Grzy7316]

I am trying to use the Power BI powershell Module to upload a power BI report to the service. 
I am running the following command 

New-PowerBIReport -Path "/Users/username/git/Data_PowerBI/PBI_DATA_MODEL.pbix" -Name PBI_DATA_MODEL_Upload -Workspace $Workspace -Timeout 999

but am getting the error 

New-PowerBIReport: The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 100 seconds elapsing.

Why is the powershell module ignoring my timeout argument ?

Dear Community,

I got an similar error when I call the New-PowerBIReport Command. 
The Command abort after 100 seconds with the code: 

The timeout parameter does not work even if you just set it to 5 seconds and force a timeout.

@Anonymous Your solution with the $ even dont work in my case. 

Thanful for a hint 🙂

I never was able to get this issue resolved. We ended up scrapping our import model & rebuilding as a direct Query model  , but at least it let us cut down how much we were spending on capacity

Hi @ManuelW,

I have the same issue.

I tried the Timeout parameter from the New-PowerBIReport Command but it seems it is not taken into account. I still get the "The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 100 seconds elapsing.' error.

Did you find a solution ?

Hi @Anonymous , Unfortunately, I have never found a solution either;

Hi @Grzy7316 

Try to add "$" before Timeout functio in your code

...-$Timeout = 999

Here are some blogs, I hope they could help you.
