Fabric Capacity is like the engine on which everything runs . Capacities provide the computing power that drives all of these experiences. They offer a simple and unified way to scale resources to meet customer demand and can be easily increased with a SKU upgrade. https://blog.fabric.microsoft.com/en-US/blog/fabric-capacities-everything-you-need-to-know-about-whats-new-and-whats-coming/

histill do not see if capacity relates to the amount of data held in the warehouse and lakehousefor example, the more data to be processed and stored in the warehouse, the higher should be the capacity?

No capacity is only compute, the storage is billed separately to a onelake backend. Details in the second section here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/microsoft-fabric/

I seem to be needing to increase the capacity.How can I find out what is causing this?Thanks
