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.

Research direction

Start at the Export-PowerBIReport cmdlet and trace how it handles completed exports and task cancellation. The work is done when exports over 1 GB can be downloaded from the returned blob storage URL and cancellation failures follow a configurable retry count.
