Upgraded to F4 - Still getting capacity error

The Fabric Capacity for a workspace I'm working in has been upgraded to F4 from F2 after recieving a Capacity exceeded message, however, almost 24 hours on I am still receiving the same error. Any guidance as to what I can do to resolve this would be great!

Your maximum usage daily allowance on a F4 is 345600 CUs.  I guess you exceeded that now.

HI @willfleming,

I'd like to suggest you take a look at the following in about the semantic model and sku limitations if they help with your scenario:

Hi @willfleming,

 

You could pause your Fabric capacity in the azure portal and restart after. Do note that you will be charged for the capacity units used above your Fabric plan: "When you pause your capacity, the remaining cumulative overages and smoothed operations on your capacity are summed, and added to your Azure bill.": https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/enterprise/pause-resume

what's the data volume?

I'm not sure what you mean by data volume or how you retrieve that figure but on 14/10 there were 16,272 total activities and 1,023 on 15/10 looking at the 'Feature Usage and Adoption' report

how many gigabytes are you moving around?

In the last 14 days I have used 2.453 million Compute Units. It seems to be that in the 'background' the CU % over time is 950%. Do you know any potential causes of that?

Your maximum usage daily allowance on a F4 is 345600 CUs.  I guess you exceeded that now.
