Hello SukTech,
To resolve this, can you please review the folder hierarchy on your Report Server and shorten folder or report names to ensure the total path stays within the allowed limit.
I would also recommend to make sure the path starts with a / if you're referencing it in a script, URL, or subscription.
P.S. If you're exporting via automation tools like PowerShell or using the Report Server UI, confirm that the export path and report path are both compliant with the character limit.
Hope this helps!

while additionally making sure,1.Your report name is too long or contains invalid characters. Try shortening the name and avoiding special characters like /, \, *, or ?.
2.When exporting to PDF, make sure the configuration settings in Power BI Report Server are correct.
You might want to clear any custom export settings or reset them to default to see if that resolves the issue.Hope this helps!

Hi SukTech ,
Sorry you are still facing the issue.
Make sure
1. The path to the report should be just the folders, not the url.
e.g. /Folder1/Folder2/ReportName
you should use the http://server or the querystringFrom the error message, the path of your report item might be invalid.
Please check the report path you specified in code.
Please try to add a slash as the start of report path and don't end the path with /Refer this thread.
Hope this helps!
