When I opened up my notebook, I initially got the error "Unable to fetch high concurrency mode enabled info (Failed to fetch [ParentActivityId:...]). Then the error "Unable to save notebook (Failed to get etag of notebook ....)" kept popping up every 5 seconds. I'm also unable to run any cell in the notebook. Fortunately I could download a copy of the notebook as .ipynb.
I created a new notebook with no content and without changing any settings and both of the same errors kept popping up.
Is there anything that could be causing the error that I can fix, before having to reach out to my Fabric workspace admin?

Hi @alee023
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
Refresh the Page: Sometimes, a simple refresh can solve the issue. If there’s a temporary glitch in the system, refreshing the page might help.
Check High Concurrency Mode: The error “Unable to fetch high concurrency mode enabled info” suggests there might be an issue with the high concurrency mode of your notebook. High concurrency mode allows users to share the same Spark sessions in Fabric Spark for data engineering and data science workloads. You might want to check if this mode is enabled correctly.
Check Notebook Saving: The error “Unable to save notebook” could be due to a variety of reasons. It could be a temporary issue with the server, a problem with the notebook itself, or an issue with your browser. Try to create a notebook after sometime because this might be due to a temporary glitch.
Please check the above mentioned troubleshooting steps. Let us know if the issue still persists.
