Copilot on Non-Fabric Items
Yes, you can use Copilot only with Power BI reports and semantic models only and without using Lakehouses, Pipelines, or other Fabric items.
But CU consumption cannot be avoided. Copilot itself uses Fabric compute.
Please check the below link on Copilot which gives idea on no of words, tokens and consumption rate.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/fundamentals/copilot-fabric-consumption
With F2, we can enable copilot, but for ~100 Pro users it seems a low capacity and might get throttled when there is active usage of Copilot.
There wont be hidden charges. Only, performance will be an issue and it would slow down, throttle when capacity is exhausted.
If this post helps, please accept this as a solution. Appreciate your kudos.
Thanks,

Copilot does consume Fabric capacity, even when used only against Power BI semantic models and reports.
-
Runs analysis queries against the semantic model
-
Uses Fabric capacity (CUs) to execute those operations
-
Does not require Lakehouses, Warehouses, or other Fabric items, but capacity is still used
