    Hi Odet_Maimoni ,

    Using REST API or SimplePBI can help with downloading PBIX files. However, the main issue here is that the PBIP export is missing report pages in Visual Studio Code, which REST APIs don’t address.

     

    Try re-saving the report as a PBIP from Power BI Desktop this usually resolves the problem.

     

     

    I hope this clarifies the situation. If I’ve misunderstood any part of your situation, please let us know.

Looks like a bug to me. The extension uses getDefinition under the hood, and reports still in PBIRLegacy format sometimes have this issue where the folder structure gets created but pages don't come through — especially with the local dataset option.
Check if the affected reports are the older format ones. Also worth updating the extension if you haven't recently.
Best bet is to log it on the Fabric Studio GitHub repo — that's where the team actually monitors these.
