Hi @UmarAP ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

The most likely cause from the information available is that your tenant may have reached the maximum number of available free trial capacities. Go to the documentation to see your options. Learn more: Fabric trial capacity - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn.

Without an active trial capacity, you won’t be able to create Fabric artifacts, which is likely the cause of the error you're encountering

Given the current options available, you can consider one of the following approaches:

1. If your organization uses Microsoft Fabric, consider working within your company’s tenant.
2. If that’s not feasible or you prefer to learn independently, you can purchase an F2 (or higher) Fabric capacity for practice. You can start and pause it as needed, and for reference, an F2 costs approximately $0.35 per hour.

Hi @UmarAP ,

It sounds like you're running into an issue with accessing Dataflow Gen2 despite having a Microsoft Fabric 60-day trial activated. Since you're using Power BI through a Mac, you're relying on the Power BI Online App, which is the correct approach. However, the message indicating “Start Fabric Trial” even though your trial is active suggests there may be a mismatch or delay in how your account status is being recognized by the service. This could be due to browser cache issues or a back-end sync problem with your license.

I recommend clearing your browser cache or trying a different browser or incognito mode to see if the environment refreshes correctly. Additionally, ensure you're logged into the correct tenant and that the Fabric trial is applied to the workspace you're working in—Dataflow Gen2 is only supported in Fabric-enabled workspaces. If the problem persists despite this, I suggest submitting a support request through the Power BI Help portal and referencing the Activity ID and Correlation ID you’ve included, as these will help Microsoft’s support team investigate the issue further.
