Power BI Generate Token API Failure

Hi
We have created a MVC web API with embedded Power BI reports. We have also commissioned a Power BI dedicated capacity on Azure.  The app was being used successfully for the last 4 months - however we now have an API Failing - https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/GenerateToken
The flow of the Power BI API is as follows. 
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token - Request an access token - POST Successful
https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups - Get groups - GET Successful
https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{group-Id}/reports - Get reports in a group - GET Successful
https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/reports/{reportId}/GenerateToken - Generate Token for POWER BI Embed control - GET Fails.
The body passed for the GenerateToken function is
{
 "accessLevel": "View"
}
However the response is
{
    "error": {
        "code""Unauthorized",
        "message""User is not authorized"
    }
}
This was working for almost 3 months and we haevnt changed any permissions on the user. Infact we have as part of our testing/trouble shooting  efforts allocated all Power BI permissions in Azure Application setup.
I cant figure out what could have changed. Any directions as to where we should be looking/trouble shooting? Appreciate any help
Regards
Sid
