Hello All,
Good Morning.
We have 2 premium capacities and they autoscale as needed.
Autoscale stays on for 24 hours.
This is costing us a lot of money.
Is there a way to limit the time to 12 hours or so?
We really need to reduce our expenses.
Many thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,
There is not a built-in feature to adjust the minimum duration of the autoscale from 24 hours to a shorter period like 12 hours directly within the Power BI service.
However you can review and optimize your workloads. Optimizing these workloads can reduce the frequency of autoscale events. This document may help you: Power BI Premium capacity monitoring
Also you can consider adjusting the size of your Premium capacities during periods of high demand. Please read the document: What is Power BI Premium? - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
