Hi , @Spurthi 

As searched :

The Get-PowerBIActivityEvent cmdlet takes a StartDateTime and an EndDateTime parameter with the same restrictions as the ActivityEvents REST API. In other words, the start date and end date must reference the same date value because you can only retrieve the activity data for one day at a time.

After I set my dates to start and end on the same day (2022-11-03 00:00:00-2022-11-03 23:59:59), then I quit receiving the error.

For more information, you can refer to:

Get-PowerBIActivityEvent (MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Admin) | Microsoft Learn
