Hello,

 

  1. The amount of data that custom connectors can store and the length of time they retain that data depend on several factors, including the type of connector and the Power BI tier you're using.
  2. In general, custom connectors do not store data on their own; they are designed to connect to external data sources and retrieve data on demand. Any data that is retrieved is typically stored in a Power BI dataset, which has its own limits based on the Power BI tier you're using.

 

Storage limits for different Power BI tiers as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021:

  • Power BI Free: 1 GB per user
  • Power BI Pro: 10 GB per user, shared capacity
  • Power BI Premium (Per User): 100 GB per user, dedicated capacity
  • Power BI Premium (Capacity-based): 100 TB per capacity, shared capacity

    Thanks for the reply, I have one doubt if you can help Till what time will the data be stored in Power Bi & if the storage capacity exceeds then do the old data get replace by new one or do we get any warning & it will stop storing data.
