Issue with Publishing PBIX File

[a_mixed_life]

This issue just started for me this week Monday.

I've been unable to publish my pbix data set getting an error:

Unexpected Error - Unable to write data to the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

I've read other's suggestions here and below are the steps I've taken.

* Original PBIX file was about 80MB

* Redo on the query and narrowed it down to 40MB

- Attempted to publish and still failed, directly from the PowerBI Desktop and Web import.

Another attempt:

* Deleted the original dataset from the web and all reports corresponding

* ran the PBIX query and saved it with a different name

- Attempted to publish and still failed, directly from the PowerBI Desktop and Web import.

I'm kind of lost on the next steps. I've already sent the "Frown" to the PowerBI team and no new updates.
