Hi Anonymous ,

Regarding your question, I searched the forum posts and for the time being, I didn't find anyone with your type of situation.Is this your first time setting up autoscaling? See the following article to see if you've set it up correctly.

    Hi there...

     

    Thanks for the tips and links! I was not previously aware of this "carry forward" business. Will read up on it. Will also log a support ticket to see what they say. 

     

    We have had autoscaling active on our capacity for about a year now, and it has worked fine up to now -- i.e. usage hits 100%, another vcore gets added for 24 hours.

     

    Thanks,
    Craig
