For the number of reports, as far as I know, there is no limit to the number of reports you can store and publish on the Power BI service, but the size of storage that can be placed in the workspace for reports and datasets and the total size of storage that can be published for an account is determined by your Power BI subscription license and capacity.

For workspaces in shared capacity:

  • There's a per-workspace storage limit of 10 GB.
  • Premium Per User (PPU) tenants have a 100-TB storage limit.
  • When you're using a Pro license, the total usage can’t exceed the tenant storage limit of 10 GB multiplied by the number of Pro licenses in the tenant.

For workspaces in Premium capacity:

There's a limit of 100 TB per Premium capacity.

There's no per-user storage limit.

Workspace storage usage is shown as 0 (as shown in this screenshot) if the workspace is assigned to a Premium capacity.
