Trials ends

[tan_thiamhuat]

one says ends in 5 days, the other mentioned 42 days left. So which is which?

Hello @tan_thiamhuat,

Both messages are valid — they are tracking different trial scopes within Microsoft Fabric.

• “42 days left” → This is your tenant-level Fabric trial (overall trial duration for Fabric features).
• “Ends in 5 days” → This refers to a Fabric capacity (compute) trial or workspace-level feature trial, which has a shorter lifecycle.

What’s happening

Microsoft Fabric provisions:

• A longer tenant-wide trial (e.g., 60 days total)
• A short-lived capacity/compute trial (often ~7 days)

These run independently, which is why the countdowns don’t match.

Impact

When the 5-day capacity trial expires:

• Fabric compute-backed features (e.g., pipelines, notebooks, lakehouse operations) may stop working
• Your tenant trial (42 days) will still remain active

Recommended Action

To avoid disruption:

• Check your workspace capacity assignment
• Either:
• Assign a paid Fabric capacity, or
• Move workloads to a supported capacity

Conclusion

No inconsistency — just separate timers for tenant-level and capacity-level trials.

Hello @tan_thiamhuat 

The only place where you'll find all your trial capacities is Fabric Admin Portal. 

1. Go to https://app.fabric.microsoft.com
2. Click Settings
3. Select Admin portal
4. Open Capacity settings

You’ll see an entry similar to:

• Fabric Trial
• SKU typically shown as Trial
• Capacity state: Active
• Workspaces assigned to it

This should show you two entries if you have 2 trial capacities, however Microsoft does not expose remaining days anywhere in the UI.

Hi @tan_thiamhuat, 

It looks like you likely have multiple trials activated, perhaps one Fabric trial and one Power BI Premium trial. 

Or perhaps you have multiple Fabric trials, and the trial that the workspace is assigned to is different from the trial on your account. 

Double check that the workspace is assigned to your trial capacity and not another users trial capacity. 

You cna also check all Fabric trials in the admin portal under the capacity settings.
