Thanks for all the input - the issue ended up being an update to my orgs Zscaler client that blocked access to the needed endpoints. Issue resolved!

Hi @Anonymous ,

If you are seeing the issue on the dataflow this might be an issue related with your gateway.

Is this a transient issue? Does the Lakehouse SQL Endpoint still exist? Do you have access to it?
