Diagnostic logs

Environment

I did not change anything when the issue started appearing. Azure functions runtime version 3 PS 7.0

requirements.psd1

@{
    'Az' = '4.7'
    'PartnerCenter' = '3.*'
}

I have tried using Az 5.0 as well but this did not change anything. I am not sure if it is related to Az Powershell changes, as I did not see anything too specific about this. I could be wrong.

profile.ps1 imports module AzTable before importing Partner Center.

I will update if I find anything that could be used.

Any news to this issue? Anyone been able to find a combination that actually works?

The PowerShell Az team reported that the problems I have - the one specific to PS 7.1 and other that is not specific to PS version should be fixed by the Partner Center module team. Statement is located here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/issues/13423
