Continuous axis publishing as categorical

I refresh a report weekly and have been doing this for 10 months.  I have a graph using the continuous x-axis type and never had a problem.  Suddenly today, when I published, the published version doesn't look at all like my desktop version.  The published version looks like the x-axis has been changed to categorical.  Is this a bug?  Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks to all for the responses.  I am using the Aug. 2022 version of PowerBI.  I also tried taking the legend off.  Nothing seemed to fix it.  I spent hours trying different things.  What finally fixed it for me was changing the date on the x-axis from "date hierarchy" to "date".  It has been on hierarchy for 10 months, so not sure why this doesn't work anymore.  Anyway, this workaround fixed my issue.  Hope it helps others.

This is still a legit issue with the service. I am contacting my admin to get a PowerBI Pro ticket made, its a real shame that Microsoft is happy to ignore the forums wehn it is not convenient.

 

The bug can be replicated according to an earlier post I made:
