Heat Map not functioning on powerbi.com

Hi all,

Several days ago every one of our heat maps stopped functioning within powerbi.com. It should be noted that it appears to be perfectly fine within Power BI Desktop. 

The Map viz we're using is the standard Map and it should be further noted has been working fine for months.

Below is the expected result and how it appears within Power BI Desktop and how it used to look on powerbi.com:

This is how it looks on powerbi.com now:

We're using Post Code (Zip Code) as the Location. 

We've tried re-publishing the report to no effect. 

Does anyone have any suggestions what to try and why it may have suddenly stopped functioning in the last week or so?

Thank you.

As a follow up, we started playing with ArcGIS mapping instead. Whilst this mapping tool is feature rich, I feel the heat mapping is somewhat limited. A rigid colour pallette certainly doesn't work for us. Nor the ability for end users to be able to customise the map via that yellow settings button in the top left of the viz. 

 

Long story short, as we pondered as a team what to do, we found that the standard map heat mapping suddenly started working again on powerbi.com today. 

 

We've done nothing, it was simply not working for about a week and suddenly started working again. Mark this one as a complete :shrug:
