Hello all,
if my company would get a F64 fabric license, we could use the free viewer model and the capacity is billed after running hours. But I was wondering how the running hours for the capacity are calculated? I would assume the capacity is running when a pipeline job is running or a report is updating, but is it also running when somebody views a report? Or is it always running, when there are reports in the workspace?
Thanks in advance

Hello! With pay as you go you can scale up and down as needed and will get charged for every minute that the instance is running. So, if you know no one will be in Fabric (including Power BI reports) from 8PM - 6AM every day, you can pause it. If you plan on having it on a lot, I would suggest getting a reservation of the instance instead of the pay-as-you go plan. You just pay a flat monthly fee. F64 is about $5003 a month where-as the pay as you go is over $8k if it was on the whole month.
