    The error ended up being the following: in the frontend application we bootstrapped the embedding with powerbi-client-react with a variable which could be 'undefined' on some page loads, not always, so a racy condition in our end.

     

    Since it could be 'undefined', Power BI embedded fallbacked to the default page of Power BI, which was an empty grey page in our report. When it did this, the call in console was blocked for whatever reason, probably because it stopped the initial bootstrap and went to the default page. Since the default page was the same color as our page background, we thought it stopped loading altogether.

    Fix was to make it so that the variable could be not 'undefined', and it did not fallback to the default page. In your situation the default page is different, if I recall correctly it is the page you are on when you publish in Power BI.
