Capacity Units in Fabric

[jashfabric]

Hey all

I am trying to understand the Capacity Units in Fabric. When I run multiple notebooks or pipelines at the same time the performance is very slow. What changes should be done here? Sometimes I am even getting an error not enough CU.

And should the autoscale option be enabled or disabled? Does this play any role for the above issue?

Thanks

Hi @jashfabric 
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
Autoscale allows capacity administrators to automatically trigger individual Power BI v-cores whenever the capacity usage reaches the purchased capacity limits. With the latest updates on the capacity usage rules, we now allow capacity usage to consume future CPU. Autoscale is a valuable mechanism to prevent capacity usage exceeding 100% and to add usage into the carry forward to be paid off in a future window.

You are right. If resource needs fluctuate, enable autoscale for your FSKU to automatically adjust capacity within limits.
