Hi @Anonymous,

What type of data source are your works? Connection mode? Where are you published? Classic workspace or new experience workspace that deployed in premium capacity? Please share more detailed information to help us clarify and troubleshoot your scenario.
BTW, any proxy or other redirection settings enabled in your device? Please also check your firewall and policy setting if they block power bi requests.
Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng
