Hi, to actually use the pay-as-you-go subscription in Microsoft Fabric, workspaces must be assigned to an active F SKU capacity in Azure. If they remain on “no capacity,” the system offers a trial, and if the tenant has exhausted all attempts, the error “We cannot assign you a trial capacity” appears. To resolve this: 1) Verify that you have an F SKU capacity in Azure (F2–F64); if it doesn’t exist, create one with pay-as-you-go billing; 2) Make it visible in Fabric by logging in with an admin account and checking Settings - Admin portal - Capacity settings - Azure; if it doesn’t appear, add yourself as a Capacity admin in Azure; 3) Assign (or create) workspaces on that capacity via “Assign workspaces” or set the capacity as the default for new workspaces; 4) If you no longer want the trial offered, disable the option in the tenant settings (“Users can try Microsoft Fabric paid features”); 5) The trial error means that the trials have run out or have been deactivated: if you're using pay-as-you-go, you can ignore it or cancel the remaining trial. Once the workspace is correctly assigned to the capacity, you can use Fabric workloads (like Lakehouse or Notebook) without trial popups: you'll be charged regularly. If the capacity doesn't appear or the assignment doesn't work, check that the tenant, region, and admin roles are consistent.
start using Fabric pay as you use

I am currently learning fabric and have a challenge I would like help with. I have a pay as you go fabric subscription, and when i try to use fabric, I am automatically take to fabric free trial account. How I can use the pay as you go fabric account I created?
Another challenge is whenever i try to activate the free trial account, I get an error "We cannot assign you a trial Microsoft trial capacity due to an error"
If anybody has encountered these issues, please let me know how to resolve them.
