HUGE problem when publishing a report
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.
