Myself and many colleagues are also impacted by this. Very frustrating. In the March 2026 version, I get the ''PowerBI service live connection is invalid. Please try again. We could not connected to the Analysis Services server because the connection timed out or the server name is incorrect." Installed the Feb 2026 version, I get the "Token refresh timed out" error message. In the November 2025 version, I can now connect successfully...but I'm on an older outdated version now and some of our reports are no longer compatible with this Nov 2025 version. Stuck in a loop of errors - not ideal. Even stranger... some colleagues do have the March 2026 version and can connect to the Analysis Services model successfully... so the issue seems intermittent...not all users are impacted, some are and some not (with the same version & settings). Please fix this Microsoft, not being able to connect to our Analysis Services model is a big problem.
