Hey there, dthlss1.
We understand that you aren't seeing predictive text suggestions in the Touch Bar of your MacBook Pro running macOS Big Sur 11.1. We'd like to try give you some steps to try to help isolate this issue further. First, you can see if this same issue happens in a temporary administrator test user: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac This can tell us if the issue is only happening in your user or in all users on your MacBook Pro.
You can also see if this happens in safe mode as well: How to use safe mode on your Mac This stops certain software from loading and can help isolate what might be causing this.
We look forward to your results. Take care!
