Publishing PowerBI report taking forever.

[ankitapaswan94]

I have been trying to re-publish a PowerBI report, after having made a minor formatting change but it just wont work. It seems to be stuck at the "Publishing.." phase, with no end in sight. Can anybody tell me if this is some sort of service related isssue ?

Hi aj1973 ,thanks for the quick reply, I'll add more.

Hi @ankitapaswan94 ,

Regarding your problem, I have not encountered this situation in recent use. This may be a temporary problem. You can try to rename your report and then publish it. Check whether the report can be published relatively quickly.When a report with the same name is republished, it will take the overwriting step.

Hi v-zhouwen-msft,

It took a long while- i let my system be while the report was publishing, only to see the next morning that it was published. So I believe it was a temporary problem indeed. It is working fine now.  Thanks for the response!

Hi Amine,
It is a premium workspace, and the file is well under 10GB. It is a published file. All I did was make a small change and attempted to re-publish it, but its been stuck for an hour now.

It couldn't been the change you made. Most likely the capacity at the tenant level was saturated at that point of time. Is it solved now?

Yeah the problem seemed to have fixed itself. Working fine now. Thanks for your response!

Hi @ankitapaswan94 

How big is the size of your pbix file? 

If the file is bigger than 1G and the workspace is not premium capacity then it won't be published. Same if the workspace is not premium and the total size of all artifacts is more than 10G
