DAX Studio - Server Timing error against F SKU

I've been unable to use "Server Timing" in DAX Studio against my F sku workspaces. This still works against AAS proper. 

I'm receiving the error "There was an error while pinging the trace - retrying". 

 

I've tried extending my timeout to 60 seconds. This did not have any impact. Has anyone else ran into this problem and have an idea of a solve or workaround?

    Hi Dblain2,

     

    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.


    Possible workarounds I can Think off are, 

    Use XMLA Endpoint Instead: Connect to the workspace using the XMLA endpoint and use View Metrics in DAX Studio. This is often more stable for F SKU environments.

    Test with Higher SKU (F64+): If you're on a lower-tier F SKU (e.g., F2–F32), try testing on an F64 or higher, which more closely mirrors Premium capacities and may support richer telemetry.

      Thanks for you response! I believe I'm already connected via the XMLA endpoint. I believe thats the only way to connected to a Premium workspace via DAX Studio. I was able to get View Metrics to run, however this isn't what i'm looking to do. I am looking to test query timings to do some testing. 

      I've tried multiple different scenarios. I've tried on an F64 and F32. I've also tried on a workspace that I'm the admin of. I've also toggled the large vs small semantic model setting. None have allowed me to connect. I am able to connect via SSMS, but this experice is subpar compared to DAX Studio.
