How do I update my Entities using Scaffoling process in EFCore 3.1 -- Execution Timeout Expired

I'm able to run my API and make calls which get data from the DB. Then when I try to update my Entities - after making db changes I get the error:

Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

The stack trace is:

PM> Scaffold-DbContext 'Server=connection-string;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=username;Password=password;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=300;' Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -ContextDir Context -OutputDir Entities -Context HomeaZZonEntities -Force

Build succeeded.

Execution Timeout Expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

I tried everything from all the other posts like modifying the timeout time - but it still fails after about 15 seconds.

However I did work a few months ago when I did my last update.

run Scaffold-DbContext "Server=.\SQLExpress;Database=SchoolDB;Trusted_Connection=True;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models
