Dataset size issue
Hello, I have some issues with Datasets' size for Premium Capacity P2. I'm using Import mode and I got information that I reached my capacity 100gb. But my Workspace settings show diffrent object ...
Max for P2 is actually 50gb. But i will not be surprised if you were able to use up to 100GB because of autoscale.

I cant 100% confirm why FCM shows 19GB where as its 5700 mb in the workspace, but my educated guess is it has to do with the dataset being offline vs when it is being used. When it is offline, certain parts of the memory is evicted so the size is smaller, but when it is online ie it is being queried, is it loaded into memory where the size now is increased. Check this blog out, it explains more about the different components that makes up the size.
