We have an integration with power bi service, whereby we're embedding a report within our site.
We are generated a token server side, with edit capability, and using that to display the report.
Clicking - File -> Save on the report has been working fine.
Now, clicking File -> Save results in the error below - one I have never seen before "Credential Handling Error". However clicking Save a second time works without any failure (and the changes are actually saved, as confirmed by viewing the report in PBI Service).
Has anyone else experienced this? We have not made any significant changes and also given that a second save works it seems like there is something wrong on the PBI side?
Any suggestions are welcome!
it will be resolved next week... see here
Started happening yesterday 4/16 at 11pm GMT +2 (at least that's when I noticed it but pretty sure it was not happening before then).

And I think that the actual exception is related to a "/metadata/folders" api call that is happening along with the SAVE. This one
The Save is returning a 200 but I see this exception in the console - although the error is different to the above popup message - the error is
When my VPN is turned off, i dont even see a call in the network tab to the metadata/folders endpoint.
Can you fix it 🙂

Thanks
