Invoke-PnPTenantTemplate is not performing any action.. "Access token acquired"

Question

I have 2 SharePoint Online tenants which both have a modern communication sites. now i used this command to get the source site template:-

PS C:\Users\mohan> Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://ssms.sharepoint.com/sites/PPM-test/" -Interactive

PS C:\Users\mohan> Get-PnPSiteTemplate -Out "PnP-Provisioning-F.xml"

and i got this file:-

but when i try to apply the site template to the destination site using this command:-

PS C:\Users\mohan> Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://destination.sharepoint.com/sites/PPM-test/" -Interactive

PS C:\Users\mohan> Invoke-PnPTenantTemplate -Path "PnP-Provisioning-F.xml"

the command show the following text:-

"initializing engine....Applying Template... "

then it ends after 2 seconds, without applying any thing to the destination.. so what can be causing this issue?

Also when i run the Invoke-PnPTenantTemplate using -Verbose, i got this error Access token acquired:-

Hi @john john Pter,

1.Verify PnP PowerShell Module Versions:

Ensure you are using the latest version of the PnP PowerShell module. Older versions might have bugs or missing features.

Update-Module -Name PnP.PowerShell

2.Check for Errors in Verbose Mode.

Run the Invoke-PnPTenantTemplate command with the -Verbose flag to get more detailed output. This can help identify any specific errors.

Invoke-PnPTenantTemplate -Path "PnP-Provisioning-F.xml" -Verbose

3.Inspect Access Token and Permissions:

Ensure that the user account you are using has the necessary permissions to apply the template on the destination site. The error message mentioning the access token suggests there might be a permissions issue.

Verify that the account has at least Site Collection Administrator rights on the destination site.
