Why is there CU usage while no activity running?

I'm checking the capacity report to try to understand the usage. but I found that I have a constant 12CU(s) consumed all the time. in the middle of the night, when I have nothing running, CU(s) are...

I am having the same issue. I thought it was normal for there to always be CU activity because I have never had anything but. Today I realized it didn't make sense that when there is nothing running there should be no or minimal CU activity. I run the dataflows twice a day and this is my CU usage... flatline.... ~20% usage on a 32.

I opened a support ticket as well with screen shots, my first interaction were links to two documents I've already read. I need an answer to - if no processes are running - what is the expected CU?

Anyone make any progress on this?

Hi,

first... you are "lucky", your blue line is going down... mine is going up , never down! 🙂

and I have to pause and resume my instance to solve the problem (the big spikes are when I pause and resume)

I discussed with MS for my case, which is the same as yours.

but I don't understand clearly how the background activities are calculated.

it's far from a clear answer.

they agree that there is a problem and some activities should not be there in the CU usage.

but they were not able to provide any ETA to solve the issue.

 

did you get some info on your side?
