A possible reason a user may believe that autocomplete is not working may be that autocomplete is just taking too long. Circa 2020-11-27 this is particularly true for Pandas when operating with jedi in a Jupiter notebook environment.
The issue can be solved by using the following magic which deactivates jedi
%config Completer.use_jedi = False
For a deeper discussion follow the this thread and the links therein.
I use JupyterLab 3.0.6. I have ipython 7.19.0 and jedi 0.18 installed. As @DaveHalter indicated, better than <% config Completer.use_jedi = False> is to use the previous version of the jedi <pip install jedi == 0.17.2>.
In 2021-01-31 it worked perfectly for me.
