Composite/live connection stopped working overnight

[LEggbbK]

At some point in the last 16 hours, live connections to any existing semantic model stopped working, at least within our org. 

- In Power BI Services and on Desktop, existing reports with composite models aren't able to display any visuals with measures linked to those models. Reports directly linked to their own semantic models still work in Desktop and in Services.

- In Power BI Desktop, it is impossible to connect to any existing semantic model, or to change existing connections. This results in "MWC token validation failed" errors.

Error log when attempting to connect to change a connection in an existing composite model:

Hi @LEggbbK ,

We failed to reproduce this issue, and for the time being, there is no feedback from other users who have had a similar experience to yours.

Based on the above information, this issue is complex which may need to collect log files for further troubleshooting. Since community support engineers don't have that access, I would suggest opening a Support Ticket. If you are a Power BI Pro or Fabric licensee, you can create a support ticket for free and a dedicated Microsoft engineer will come to solve the problem for you. 
It would be great if you continue to share in this issue to help others with similar problems after you know the root cause or solution.
