Intermittent Timeout Error While Waiting for Python REPL to Start in Databricks

Hi everyone,

I’ve been encountering an error that says "Timeout while waiting for the Python REPL to start. Took longer than 60 seconds" during my work in Databricks. The issue seems to happen intermittently - sometimes the REPL starts without any problems, and some times, I face this timeout error.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas on what could be causing it or how to resolve the issue?

I’ve attached a screenshot of the error for reference. Appreciate any help or insights!
