PowerBI Embedded Export function works sometimes and sometimes not

I´m using PowerBI Embedded sample app  (app owns data) 

And my export function works sometimes and sometimes not.. There is no way of trouble shooting the issue as it starts working after couple of minutes even if I dont do anything.

My export function:

function exp() {
        report.getPages()
            .then(function (pages) {
                pages[0].getVisuals().then(visuals => {
                    console.log(visuals.length);
                    if (visuals.length >= 5) {
                        visuals[4].exportData(1, 1000)
                            .then(data => {
                                console.log('exportFunction');
                            })
                            .catch(function (errors) {
                                console.log('export error');
                                console.log(errors);
                            });
                    } else {
                        console.log("Error getting visual data");
                    }
                });
            });
    }

this code gives me error on line : visuals[4].exportData(1, 1000)  and gives me these errors (Sometimes):

This seems to be a bug in the power bi javascript library.

The error also happens when tried in the embedded sample tool.

Any idea when this blocking issue will be solved? Today is impossible to get a working route 😞

Does someone from MS can provide some answer?

 

Any support will be highly aprecied!
