Subscribe to report not working

As I create and publish dashboards I often create report subscriptions to share via email. for the past 2 days when I try to subscribe to any report it just hangs. I have tried on a different computer, cleared cache, had a different user try and they are also unable to subscribe.

It just spins - will not connect to the subscribe to this report service.

Ask your admin to double check if the Email subscriptions setting is still turned on in the Power BI Admin Portal and that no company policies or email rules are blocking it. Since you already tested on different machines and accounts,

Hi @smmoore34 It might be due to a temporary issue with the Power BI Service. Ensure you have a stable internet connection and the latest version of Power BI. Check the Power BI status page for any ongoing service disruptions. If the issue persists, contact Microsoft support with details about the problem and steps to reproduce it.
