Description
Export-PowerBIReport has been working fine to download Datasets for over 6 months now.
Now that the file exceeds 1Gb it returns a blob storage url for download
Can you please implement this behavior in the cmdlet to expect this behavior?
example return:

Additionally, please implement a retry policy for when the task is cancelled, adding a number of retries parameter.
"Export-PowerBIReport : A task was canceled."
thanks.
