I recently logged into the Databricks free edition, but the serverless compute is not working. I'm receiving the error: 'An error occurred while trying to attach serverless compute. Please try again or contact support.'"

Hello @Abdul_Alikhan!

Based on what you shared, it’s possible that you’ve reached the serverless compute usage limit in the Free Edition. In such cases, launching a new notebook with serverless compute may be temporarily blocked.
You can try stopping the SQL warehouse or disconnecting compute from unused notebooks, that might help free up resources.

Hi @Abdul_Alikhan ,

I experienced the same yesterday when I imported some of my notebooks. I noticed that this error only appeared for imported notebooks because the environment version was 1 by default. Changing the environment version to 2 solved the problem for me. Maybe this is the solution for your case too.
