    Hi dafad_dew,

    Thanks for reaching MS Fabric community support.

     

    This is possibly a generic issue tied to distributed metadata synchronization in distributed systems (like Microsoft Fabric) where data updates (such as job status) don’t instantly reflect across all parts of the system. Instead, changes "eventually" reach a consistent state after a short delay.

     

    Can you try below troubleshooting steps and let me know if this helps:

    • Add a short delay before calling the API. Or use retry logic to check again after a few seconds if the status doesn't look correct
    • Avoid relying on real-time visibility of job status from outside the pipeline that's running. due to eventual consistency you may not get accurate results. this relay on how job metadata is propagated within Fabric

     

     

     

    Thanks,
