Azure Flexible Postgres Server (v17) missing Storage Used/Percent Metrics

Storage metrics are not showing since the server was created around 2 weeks ago.
CPU/Memory/Transaction Logs and other metrics all show up properly and the server is working fine otherwise. Restarting did not help. Changing Server Parameters did not as well.

Querying the database instance as well as normal database operations all work flawlessly. But I need the Storage metrics to show up.

    Hello **Mohamad Hadla

    **If the Storage Used and Storage Percent metrics are not appearing for your Azure database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server please verify that enhanced metrics are turned on. By default, some metrics may be disabled. To enable them, set the server parameter metrics.collector_database_activity to ON. This parameter is dynamic and does not require a server restart.
