What are the Premium Capacity P1 default Settings? To be clear, this is the settings in the Management Tab, under Capacity Settings in the Admin Portal, where the options for memory allocation, query timeouts etc reside.
I cannot find the defaults listed anywhere and someone has been tinkering and now the performance seems degraded. I'd like to reset it to the defaults before optimising from there.
@Anonymous - Are you referring to these settings?

@Greg_Deckler yes, those settings, but all of them. I found those pages, but they don't list out all the various settings that can be changed, only a handful.
@Anonymous - Wondering if you could create a new Premium capacity, jot down the settings, delete it? Not sure if that would cost you $5K or just the amount you ran it for. Maybe open a support ticket? If you have Pro account you could try to open a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free. Go to https://support.powerbi.com. Scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET".
@Greg_Deckler sadly, I only have a P1, so no ability to set up a second, temporary capacity. But I have full Premium and Pro licensing, so I will contact support.
Thanks
