Power BI Output Tool - Failed to create dataset

I am using Alteryx (version 2023.1.1.460 with patch 10). Until last week, I was using the Power BI Output connector without any issues. However, since Monday, I have been facing the following error when trying to create a new dataset in Power BI:

Error: Power BI Output (2): Failed to create dataset.

Attached are the screenshots for understanding. A sample database was used for testing purposes, but the same error occurs with any other database.

Hi, 

I can't offer any solution on this as I'm having the same problem. 
I've created quite an extensive app which uploads results to Power BI. Datasets already in use when I wrote the app in Alteryx 2022 using Power BI 3.0.3 worked but as 3.0.3 isn't compatible with Alteryx 2024, I was forced to upgrade Power BI to 3.4 where I started encountering problems in updating data. 
I've just implemented a new workflow and I get the same Failed to create dataset error.
