@Anonymous ,

Could you please clarify what have you done before the visual broken?

Yes, I can clarify. I did nothing.

Users started sending notifications that the reports stopped working.

@Anonymous ,

Please check if power bi desktop has been updated to the latest version. If this issue still persists, I would suggest you create a support ticket here.

This is published reports running in the cloud. downloading the pbix with the latest PBI Dekstop ( Version: 2.75.5649.761 64-bit (November 2019) ) allows me to capture the error that it is broken.

I have opened tickets on this.
