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.
Just an update: Stopping and restarting the Capacity seemed to have stopped whatever these rogue background processes are that were consuming the CU's. The support ticket is still open/under investigation so no word on what the root cause is/was.
