Lakehouse high CU usage, unknown source
Support finally got back to me with this reply. They admitted to it being a backend Microsoft issue, but no word on how and if they would be fixing it or if I would be reinbursed the lost CU's. The abbreviated 'DMS' is for Data Movement Services:
The increased CU usage was attributed to a disabled file system (FS) on the DMS side, which resulted in a significant number of “GetBlobProperties” API calls from DMS to the One Lake Client (OLC). This led to the observed spike in CU usage. After the FS was re-enabled on July 29th, CU usage decreased accordingly.
The spike occurred on 07/18 and subsided on 07/29, aligning with the period when the FS was disabled and subsequently re-enabled on the DMS side, which reduced the number of calls from DMS to OLC.
Thanks, I was trying in the wrong place for support ticket! I did successfully log a ticket and will update this post with Microsoft's findings.
I checked it on a lakehouse that is practically not used at all. The CU is virtually zero.
I think opening a ticket with MS is also the right way to go.
Best regards
