I wish it was possible to set a limit on a workspace level on how many CUs the workspace was allowed to use.
And also an option to bundle together workspaces and set a limit on how many CUs these workspaces were allowed to use combined (e.g. dev and test workspaces).
Possibly also an option to prioritize some workspaces (e.g. prod workspaces or critical prod workspaces).
That way, we could reduce the risk of exceeding our capacity and cause problems for critical workloads.

Thanks for your suggestion. As you’re probably aware, we are planning to help capacity admins get ahead of throttling by releasing surge protection for interactive and background jobs soon. This experience will limit capacity overuse by background jobs (throttles background jobs before a full 24-hours of CUs is consumed) to protect interactive users like Power BI users.
We plan to keep building on and improving this surge protection feature to support more granular cases restrictions/limits (e.g. at the workspace level) in the future.- Status added:Planned
