    Hi mattke2b ,

    If you have verified everything related to SAMI and is functioning as expected Please try the below steps now

    Do not remove Azure SQL Database service principal name (SPN) contributor permissions on Fabric mirrored database item.

    If you accidentally remove the SPN permission, Mirroring Azure SQL Database will not function as expected. No new data can be mirrored from the source database.

    If you remove Azure SQL Database SPN permissions or permissions are not set up correctly, use the following steps.

    1. Add the SPN as a user by selecting the ... ellipses option on the mirrored database item.
    2. Select the Manage Permissions option.
    3. Enter the name of the Azure SQL Database logical server name. Provide Read and Write permissions.

This database/Azure SQL Server has only ever had SAMI, I tried turning it off, and then back on, with no success. SQL based users work fine, and an Entra ID User works, but an Entra Service Principal auth does not.
