Interactive CPU - Red columns represent the number of CPU seconds used during interactive operations in a 30 second period.
Interactive operations cover a wide range of resources triggered by Power BI users. These operations are associated with interactive page loads.
Background - Blue columns represent the number of CPU seconds used during background operations in a 30 second period.
Background operations cover Power BI backend processes that are not directly triggered by users, such as data refreshes.
