Can you explain a little more about what you mean by a "SharePoint report"?

Also, you won't be able to use Flow to automatically download anything - you can automatically email a file every week.

You can't automatically download anything with Power Automate cloud Flows. The best you can do is email a file.

What type of report do you want to generate? A Power BI report? Excel? CSV?

I don't know of a way to automatically generate the Site Usage report in Power Automate. You may/may not be able to do this by using an HTTP action and the Graph API. Note that using the HTTP action requires a premium license.
