(PowerShell) Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount not working
Problem found and solved!
It turned out that an update to the PowerShell extension for VS Code set this value "powershell.useX86Host": true. In other words, it started running 32 bit as default. Manually changing it back to x64 like shown in the screenshots belov solved the problem:

OP here. The problem has returned again, and has persisted for about a week. No changes has been made on our side to any PS scripts. We get the exact same error message. What is the issue, and can we do anything about it?
Hi alexgor87,
If you do not change the setting on these function usage but this issue appears frequently. It means the issues may be related to some backend/remote processing of these function usages.
In my opinion, I'd like to suggest contact to the author of the packages to report this.Regards,

Exactly my thought. We use Microsofts official PowerBi management package, so I think the best thing to do is open a ticket with their support.
I was just about to raise the ticket, and I checked the version of the MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt package. Mine was 1.0.896, while the latest is 1.2.1026:
https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt/1.2.1026
So I updated the module and all dependent modules:
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Admin (>= 1.2.1026)
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Capacities (>= 1.2.1026)
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Data (>= 1.2.1026)
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Profile (>= 1.2.1026)
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Reports (>= 1.2.1026)
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Workspaces (>= 1.2.1026)
and the problem has gone! Hope this will work for you too!
