Helper Veventstream consumption (CU%)
Community ChampionEven with smoothing, you would see the consumption starting to decrease "immediately" if you have already had stable operation for more than a full 24 hours prior to shutting off the operation.
The smoothed consumption would gradually move towards zero, and would reach zero 24 hours after the operation was stopped.
I recommend this video about the Capacity metrics app, it made the Capacity metrics app a lot more useful to me after watching it: https://youtu.be/EuBA5iK1BiA?si=Ibnz7o22ePEk-WMR
Here is some information about Event Streams capacity consumption:

It seems strange that your Event Stream is still consuming CUs if there has been no data movement for more than 2 hours:

That's a fallacy. The smoothing is even over the 24 hr period for each consumption event. There's nothing "decreasing immediately", especially not when you continue to have new consumption events.
