Description
Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount always prompt for authentication, we can use Get-PowerBIToken to check if there is already a login. But a simple enhancement is to add a parameter that just checks & renews the token without asking for credentials.

Research direction
Start by tracing Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount and Get-PowerBIToken to understand the current authentication and token-renewal flow. Define the new parameter's behavior for an existing login and verify that it can renew or check the token without prompting for credentials; done should include coverage for both logged-in and unauthenticated cases.
