Power BI was unable to read the application metadata.

Suddenly can't access Power BI web from a VM (Azure West US 2). 

Using the app launcher from office.com, I get:

Trying a link straight to a workspace, I get a blank page.

Works OK (if a bit slow) from my laptop (Australia).

This seemed to be a service issue. Anyway, it has been working OK for a day or so now.
