It seems that the docstring doesn't appear when I hover on a piece of code. Like for instance the documentation doesn't show up when I hover on Overpass. However autocompletion still works.

@rchiodo can confirm. But you mentioned that you are running on a remote Jupyter server? I believe that in this case our language server support is a bit more limited (we are relying on just what the Jupyter server provides in that case instead of the full language server support) so that is why you are not seeing docstrings.

Well I think I was seeing the docstring before, like 1 or 2 weeks ago (sorry I went on holidays, so can't confirm the exact date of when it broke).

Yes hover shouldn't work with remote. Only autocomplete as we get that from the jupyter server. Pylance isn't running on the remote machine so it doesn't have the environment in order to provide the necessary information.

This should be a dupe of #8285
