Fabric Capacity Auto pause capability
Hi Srisakthi ,
Currently, there is no built-in feature to schedule pausing Fabric Capacity directly within the platform, similar to the VM auto shutdown feature. However, you can achieve this through automation using REST APIs.
Azure Automation:
- Create a runbook that runs on a timer to invoke the suspend or resume operations at specified intervals.
- You can use Azure Data Factory to orchestrate this process. Set up a pipeline in ADF that includes a web activity to call the Azure Automation runbook. This way, you can manage the scheduling and execution of the runbook through ADF.
Fabric Pipeline:
- Similarly, you can create a pipeline within Fabric to manage the pausing and resuming of capacity. Use a web activity within the Fabric pipeline to call the necessary REST APIs for suspending or resuming operations.

Hi Srisakthi
Out of the box feature to schedule capacity pause/start is not available in Fabric.
As you mentioned ,we can
schedule pausing a Microsoft Fabric capacity by calling its REST APIs through a tool like Azure Automation or Logic Apps. One common approach is to create an Azure Automation runbook that runs on a timer and invokes the suspend or resume operations at specified intervals.
Another option is to configure a Logic App to check the current time or specific conditions, then call the Fabric capacity’s suspend or resume endpoints using an Invoke resource operation action.
