    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.

    Regards,
