    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, this may not be the same issue, but it seems related and i am not sure where to put this solution i discovered when my report would not finish refreshing due to being 'stuck' on the 'creating connection in model' step.  When i went Ctrl end on one of my tables it showed that my table was massively huge although i only actually had 200 rows and 20 columns of data.  I found the easiest (surest) way to fix it was to copy paste my data to a new worksheet, then deleted the old and renamed the worksheet the same as the old one.
