Power BI Visual Has Exceeded the Available Resources

Chris Webb diagnoses an error:

One of my most popular blog posts of the last few years is this one on the “Visual has exceeded available resources” error in the Power BI Service:

This error only used to appear in the Power BI Service, but the good news is – and trust me, this is good news – it may now appear in Power BI Desktop too following the May 2023 release.

It’s not often good news that you get a new error, but knowing that the Service will behave a certain way and replicating that on Desktop, at least it prevents an issue from popping up in production that you can’t find during initial development.
