Embedded Capacity Usage Consistently Runs High
This visual is showing that dataflow/dataset refreshes are consuming 25-30%ish of your capacity from around 1:00am - 6:00pm. If you hover your mouse over one of the blue bars in the chart you will see a point in time drill-through. Click that and it will take you to a page that shows the breakdown of the operations and their consumption at that point in time.
Hello! Background processes refer to refresh operations. In the Premium Capacity Usage and Resource Utilization report, on the Overview page, there is a tile that shows Capacity CPU % with a breakdown by interactive and background processes. It also includes a detail of the corresponding activities. What do you see on this page?
Thank you for your reply. I have attached a screenshot of that tile. As you can see the background process is running high constantly. We are not constantly running refreshes though. I can't seem to determine what activity is causing that constant background CPU.

This is very helpful. It looks like all of our nightly refreshes are consuming capacity throughout the day. My research into this indicates that this is expected behavior because refresh CPU's are spread out over the course of 24 hours instead of all at once during the refresh process.
