Hi @John Fisher

Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum! Thanks for posting your query!

The error message you are encountering, LivyHttpRequestFailure, with an HTTP status code of 500 indicates that there is an internal server error. This could be due to various reasons, such as issues with the Azure Synapse service itself or resource constraints in your workspace.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

Check Resource Availability - Ensure that there are enough resources available in your Azure Synapse workspace. Insufficient resources can lead to such errors.

Retry the Request - Since the error suggests trying again later, it may be a temporary issue. Wait for a while and attempt to start the session again.

Review Logs - If possible, check the logs for more detailed error messages that may provide insight into what went wrong.
