everyting works fine until below highlighted line

when this above highlighted line executes it throw error because Model property is always null, I tried to create multiple reports and published on power bi service but no luck on those as well.

Hello @Anonymous,

First of all thanks for your help here,

As per your suggestion I cross checked about the things that you explained above

1) My service principal has admin permissions on the workspace.

2) I checked about dedicated capacity, and found that I am using premium capacity you can see below screenshot

But I am not sure how to check if dedicated capacity is properly for cloning? could you please expain more, how i can check if capacity has enough rights to clone models?

3) if having a model can be cloned? here also I am not sure how to check if model can be cloned or not, could you please elaborate how to make sure if model can be cloned?

more about my model: I have created Report from Power BI Desktop and using Sql server data connection and published in Power Bi services and change connection to sql gateway, and refresh the model.

I am egger to heard from you

Thanks in advance
