Advocate ICan't export to Power BI Desktop format
Hi, the issue appears to have been resolved now. The below is the root cause as shared by the Microsoft Support Team.
Root Cause
Based on our investigation and system logs, the issue appears to have been caused by a transient backend configuration or service update affecting download functionality for Semantic Models in certain clusters. These updates, while temporary, may have inadvertently imposed download restrictions or impacted the service's behavior.
Since no changes were made on your end, and the issue resolved itself without intervention, it was likely a backend adjustment that has since been corrected.

When Large semantic model storage Format is on, you would face some limitations in download the PBIX file, please refer below and get in touch with your Fabric/Power BI admin (tenant):

Advocate IThe large semantic model storage format is switched to off and we are still encountering this issue. This has only recently happened in the last few days, previously we had no issues downloading semantic models into desktop.
