HUGE problem when publishing a report
When was the last time you updated your gateway? I only ask because it was stated that it was the same gateway. In the past, I have noticed that there are times when the Service update will not play nice with a different version of the Gateway. I would recommend updating the gateway and the desktop PowerBI version. Then, republish the report and see if that speeds things back up.
This is not the issue unfortunately.
I found a workaround and it's not ideal, especially if this could happen repeatedly. Something about updating my dataset online is broken (though not locally). My old report times out on reading some of the data.
In order to have a correctly working report, I had to do a 'save-as', rename it, and publish a new report. If I've already shared the old broken report with coworkers, I now have two reports and one of them is no longer 'live'. That's not how this is supposed to work.
I'm going to give it a little more time before assuming this is not a server/service issue on Microsoft's end.
I am curious. When you say you are updating and then republishing, what exactly do you mean? Are you refreshing the data then republishing it or are you building new measures and reports and then republishing it? Have you tried just refreshing the data to see if the actual refresh is the problem as opposed to the republish?
Also, where/how is your datamodel stored? Is it on a local drive or in the cloud?
On that note, have you tried PowerUpdate? It would refresh it through a different method.

Final "And Also": If you are sharing a link to the dashboard, when you save as and create a new report, just pin it to the same dashboard so that it is still shared.
the problem is not the gateway because i published reports from the same gatweay with no problem.
