Hi, sdhn 

Please check these:

There are a few important considerations and limitations associated with downloading (exporting) a .pbix file from Power BI service.

• To download the file, you must have edit access to the report
• The report must have been created using Power BI Desktop and been published to the Power BI service, or the .pbix must have been uploaded to the service.
• Reports must be published or updated after November 23, 2016. Reports published prior to then are not downloadable.
• This feature will not work with reports originally created in the Power BI service, including content packs.
• You should always be using the latest version of Power BI Desktop when opening downloaded files. Downloaded .pbix files may not open in non-current versions of Power BI Desktop.
• If your administrator has turned off the ability to export data, this feature will not be visible in the Power BI service.
• Dataset with incremental refresh can't be downloaded to a .pbix file.

I'd either try again later or open a support ticket.  If that will not cover your case I would recommend to open a support ticket.  In my experience they are pretty good at getting back to you in a timly manner.
