Since SQL Lab works fine, your database connection itself is good — the issue is in how chart queries are dispatched differently from SQL Lab queries. Here's what to check: **1. Browser DevTools (Network tab)** - Try creating the chart, then look for a request to `/api/v1/chart/data` - Check if it returns an HTTP error (500, 502, etc.), times out with no response, or returns a 202 (async) that never resolves **2. Are you running async queries with Celery?** If `GLOBAL_ASYNC_QUERIES` is enabled in your config but Celery workers aren't running, chart queries will hang indefinitely. Verify workers are active: ```bash celery -A superset.tasks.celery_app:app inspect active ``` **3. Check Superset server logs** Enable debug logging (`LOG_LEVEL = "DEBUG"` in `superset_config.py`) and look for errors or timeout messages when you attempt to create the chart. **4. Connection pool settings** Charts fire concurrent requests, unlike SQL Lab's single synchronous query. If your pool is too small, queries can wait for connections indefinitely [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/41588#issuecomment-4858244292). Check your `SQLALCHEMY_POOL_SIZE` and `SQLALCHEMY_MAX_OVERFLOW` settings. **5. Try a hard refresh** A stale browser cache can occasionally cause chart rendering to get stuck. Try `Ctrl+Shift+R` (or `Cmd+Shift+R` on Mac). Sharing the browser console output and/or server-side logs when the chart hangs would be the fastest way to diagnose this. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
