Power BI “Error Reading Manifest” & 'Request failed with status code 500' errors in Power Automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi all,

Is anyone else seeing this? In Power Automate, I can’t add or edit any Power BI connector actions (like “Refresh a dataset” or “Run a query against a dataset”) in flows. The designer just shows “Error reading manifest” and the action won’t load. This started recently and is affecting multiple tenants in the UK region for us.

  • Existing flows that use Power BI actions that have been running for years now show errors in the designer and can’t be edited.
  • When the flow runs, the Power BI refresh action returns HTTP 500, but the refresh actually happens successfully in the Power BI service (it shows as completed in the refresh history).
  • Other connectors (SharePoint, Office 365, etc.) are working fine.
  • I’ve tried different browsers, clearing cache, re-authenticating the connection, and exporting/importing the flow—nothing helps.
  • Other clients in EU region tenants don’t have this problem; it seems specific to UK region environments.

Is anyone else seeing this in the UK (or elsewhere)?
Any workarounds or updates from Microsoft?

Thanks!

    Hi @andymac2, I think it is region wide issue, and there are similar questions in the form .
    i think the issue is already highlighted to Microsoft also. you can check from admin portal about the same
