Requests remain pending when report changes.

[dunnes]

We're embeddeding Power Bi reports in an angular 19 application. The report is embedded in a reusable component that displays different reports depending on the url.

If a report is loading and then the user changes to a different report before the previous report completesloading, then we see that api requests from within power bi stay pending for the previous report.

As the requests are on the Power BI side we have not found a way to cleanup the requests and are concerned this is leading to performance issues.

Hi @dunnes 
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. This is expected behavior when embedding Power BI reports. If a report is still loading and the user switches to another report, the requests for the first report continue in the background. These requests are handled by Power BI and cannot be cancelled once they start.

From the application side, the recommended approach is to clean up the embedded report before loading a new one. When changing reports, make sure to destroy the existing report instance or remove the iframe, and then embed the new report. This helps avoid unnecessary pending requests.

Currently, Power BI does not provide a way to cancel in-flight service requests, so managing the report lifecycle in the host application is the supported approach.

For reference, you can check the Power BI embedding documentation here:
