SpoilerUnsurprisingly once again is sad to see Microsoft reach such absurd state where the support article basically aknowledges this unsolvable problem for at least almost a year, as the support article was last updated on 11/01/2025, and just expects users to deal with it:
"you might still encounter a delay of 20 to 30 seconds before the visual loads in Power BI Desktop for Power BI Report Server. You encounter this delay because Power BI Desktop for Power BI Report Server tries to fetch the updated copy of the visual from the internet. After a period of retrying and failing to connect to the internet, it displays the local copy of the custom visual."
