Databricks Free Edition - compute does not start

JrVerbiest — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 09:12:06 GMT

Hello,

I am using the Databricks Free Edition, but for the past couple of days, I have been facing a problem where I am unable to start the serverless compute. It takes forever to initiate. When I check the log, I see the message that the compute <...> does not exist.

Anyone facing the same problem?

Thanks.

I found this on Reddit, which may shed some light: https://www.reddit.com/r/databricks/comments/1mvqim9/databricks_free_edition/

All the best,

Hello @JrVerbiest!

Thanks for sharing this, @BS_THE_ANALYST.
This is a known issue with the Free Edition, and the team is already aware and working on a fix. It should be resolved soon.
Thanks for your patience in the meantime!
