data limit for Microsoft 365 e5 license

Hi

 

Microsoft 365 E5 license includes power bi pro 

does the data limit of 1GB changes or it remains the same? 

 

I'm having E5 license & I could publish & refresh more than 1GB of data

so I'm bit confused

    Hi  newbie_powerbi ,

     

    According to your description, you are currently using a Pro license, and you can still upload successfully for the pbix file size limit uploaded to Power BI Service exceeding 1GB. This is because the current architecture of Power BI Gen2 has changed, and the shared capacity is currently also the architecture of the premium capacity used, so the limit for upload size is about 1.3GB.

     

    Best Regards,

      Thanks a ton 🙏

      I have been asking this for 3 months to various people across various platform but until now I didn't receive a convincing answer 

      Thanks again

       

      if the size limit is 1.3GB

      where must the 1.3GB size be reached?

      1. On disk memory size of file
      2. The size that is shown on manage group storage in power bi service
      3. Data studio

      In all three my file size has reached over 1GB

      in dax studio = 1.8GB

      on manage group storage in power bi service = 1.1GB

      on disk memory = 1.06GB
