Error 500 Internal Server Error when publishing a PBIX file

Hi,

With the August 24 release of Power BI I am getting an error where I am unable to publish my PBIX files to powerbi.com.

The error message that I get is

I get this error with all of my pre-existing Power BI reports. (These are all reports that connect to a local excel spreadsheet.)

The strange thing is that if I take a copy of any of these files, paste as a new name (e.g. Insurance2.pbix), and then publish to powerbi.com, that first-time publish will work. But if I were to attempt a republish of this new file, it will come up with the same error message.

Prior to the August release, I was intermittently getting the Error 400 issue outlined by another user. The only solution I had was to delete the report and dataset, then republish, but that was a pain because each report would have a new URL and I would have to repin the visuals. It makes it difficult to get wider scale adoption of powerbi in our organisation.

Is anyone else getting this Error 500?
