Semantic Model limits
- 1 year ago
Hi Krupar ,
As i know in Power BI, the number of semantic models you can create depends on your license type and capacity. There is no hard limit on the number of semantic models, but there are storage and performance constraints based on the plan you choose.
For Power BI Free and Pro users, there is a 10 GB total storage limit per user, which indirectly limits the number of models you can create. Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) allows for larger dataset sizes, up to 100 GB per model, and supports auto-scaling beyond the 10 GB limit. If you are using Power BI Premium (capacity-based, such as P1, P2, etc.), there is no strict limit on the number of semantic models, but each dataset's size is constrained by the SKU purchased, with P1 supporting up to 25 GB per dataset.

Hi Krupar
There are no specific limits to the count of semantic models you can create and publish to the service. The limit is on the disk space occupied by these models.
Pro workspace has a limit of 10G
This is for Fabric capacity. Storage cost is computed separately and it depends on the region https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/microsoft-fabric/

Hi KR ,
I do believe there is not a limit of the number of semantic models but there is a limit on how big a semantic model can be depending on your license.
Power BI offers PRO and PPU for single users, and I believe they are moving to Fabric for company wide licenses.
Depending on how many users needs to visualize your reports in the Service you may want to use PRO or PPU, if not too many.
Please have a look at here -> https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Fabric-platform/Size-limit-per-Semantic-model/m-p/4047585/highlight/true#M8783
