Simplified Shape File Error When Uploading as TileSet to Mapbox Account

[TiffanyFHA]

First I uploaded a zipped shape file (37 mb) to Mapbox as a Tileset, but I have to zoom in a lot to see the shapes in Power BI Desktop. So I used the mapshaper to simplify it and exported it as GeoJSON file with a smaller size, but when I tried to upload it to Mapbox as a Tileset, it threw an error like the attached screenshot "bounds west value must be between -360 and 360"

Same error but I was trying to upload a .geojson file. All my coordinates are longitudes around -60, is it possible that something on the projection info is sending the points away past the 360 degrees?

Have no idea... Currently, very frustrated by this as we don't want to zoom in a lot just to see the shapes showing up and the display is not what we want... Since downsizing through mapshaper doesn't look like to work, I also tried to downsize the precision of the coordinates in kml format, but unfortunately, after I uploaded the kml file as a tilest, nothing shows up in Power BI desktop no matter how much I zoom in or out.... I checked everywhere to make sure everything up to requirements like field name, url, tileset name, property name.... Couldn't figure out why it just doesn't work.

@TiffanyFHA Solved it. I was forgetting to translate de coordinates from metric to lat lng for a few points, so that intead of -60 those were around 70000.
It worked right after I corrected that.

@TiffanyFHA <https://github.com/TiffanyFHA> is me :) Sorry that I don't quite understand what you mean by "translate the coordinates from metric to lat lng..." do you mean that I should change those -60 to 70000 in the ESRI shape file? If yes, how can I change it since that's a zipped shaped file? I only know how to edit the kml file as I can only it in note...

Im saying that you make completely sure that all lat lng coordinate values in your file are between +-360
