refresh , data volume and incremental refresh
powerbiexpert22 , I want to amend my answer for #2 and provide some additional info that I just learned thanks to your question. There is no way to set a specific amount of capacity for model refresh, however there is a way to limit the max memory used by semantic models in a capacity. Here is more information on that feature: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/enterprise/powerbi/service-admin-premium-workloads#power-bi-settings
Hi powerbiexpert22 ,
1. Not exactly sure what you are referrring to, but it could be this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/power-query-background-refresh
Or could mean the refresh of the semantic model (report data)
2. No, I'm pretty sure there is not.
3. The max model size is 25GB for F64. This is not the same as 25 GB source data size, since the data is compressed (assuming you are using import mode)
4. Incremental refresh requires a RangeStart and RangeEnd date. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/incremental-refresh-overview
Hi cengizhanarslan , djurecic ,
is there any proof of not reserving capacity for back ground refresh from microsoft official documentation?

Hi, all refresh operations consume background capacity, you can check and validate that from "Fabric Capacity Metrics" report.
