Unity Catalog system tables (table_lineage, column_lineage) not populated

Hi community,

We have enabled Unity Catalog system schemas (including `access`) more than 24 hours ago in sandbox. The schemas are showing ENABLE_COMPLETED, and other system tables (like query) are working fine.

However, both `system.access.table_lineage` and `system.access.column_lineage` tables are still empty after one day.

Context:
- We are using Unity Catalog-managed tables (not Hive metastore).
- We ran multiple SQL queries (CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, INSERT INTO, SELECT * FROM).
- We verified that query history and other access tables are working.

- We created tables after lineage is enabled too.

What would be reason of it.

I'm also running into a similar issue where our system.access.column_lineage and system.access.table_lineage tables are no longer visibile.

This appears to be resolved on my end. Not sure if they're related.
