    Has someone observed the same? Is it a bug? 

    This a bug with the status reporting in the Sept 2021 release that has been raised a number of times on this forum. I believe Microsoft are looking to fix this, but I'm not sure when it's planned to be released. Worst case I hope this would at least be fixed in the next major release (January 2022)

Hi FSmyth 

It looks like it could be. Getting data out of Sharepoint is notoriously slow. It could be that if you just wait at "creating connection in model" it will evenually return. It's going to depend on the amount of Data you have to import and the speed of the server providing it. 

You should check the Issues forum here:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues
To see if anyone else has raised the issue and if it is not there, then you could post it.
Alternatively if you have Pro account you could try to open a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free. Go to https://support.powerbi.com. Scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET".

Hope this helps
