Power BI Server access failed

Guo_0-1774252469482.png
Since the beginning of the week, there have been frequent failures in accessing the workspace. Last Friday, I waited for a while and was able to access it again. Today, this problem occurred again. Is it our server being upgraded?

The problem has been temporarily resolved. I understand that it was caused by the instability of the server, as I checked my identity verification and account and found no issues. Usually, I can access it normally after waiting for a refresh. However, this situation has been occurring slightly more frequently recently. I don't understand if it was an official upgrade to the backend service

Hii @Guo 

 

This issue is usually caused by temporary service instability, authentication/session token expiry, or capacity-related throttling in Power BI Service, not a permanent server failure. Since access works again after some time, it indicates a transient backend or service refresh issue (e.g., maintenance or load balancing). The recommended approach is to check Service Health, refresh login/session, and monitor if the issue correlates with peak usage or tenant capacity limits.

Indeed, waiting for a while and trying to refresh can indeed solve this problem, but my curiosity is whether the server has been very unstable recently. I thought I had not encountered this problem so frequently in my previous use
