Extreme High Capacity Usage by Subscription(s)

I am struggling to figure out which subscription(s) are using an astonishing amount of capacity and why. The subscriptions for a single report are using almost 50% more capacity than the next highest dataset in the Fabric Capacity Metrics app. I know it is subscriptions because the tooltip that pops out when hovering over the line shows it is subscription(s) and all tied to one user.  We've already tried disabling CoPilot. The report in question has 4 dynamic subscriptions set up (for four different groups of employees) all scheduled at the same time. I didn't see anything about dynamic subscriptions being a capacity guzzler - would this be the reason for subscription(s) taking up so much capacity? Is it just a feature of being dynamic, or are there best practices for setting them up that can reduce this capacity usage?

 

  • We've been through this too. Single user, 3000 recipients. User decided to include not only a rendering of the first page (which is totally illegible because they cram too many visuals on that page) but also a PDF export of the entire 25 page report, re-rendered individually for each recipient and also totally unusable because "it's not interactive".

     

    Remedy A: Educate your developers to include neither, and to only rely on the link. 

    Remedy B: stop doing subscriptions.

  • Thanks for your reply. I am guessing that this is what is going on. They are indeed sending PDFs to everyone in sales in the company.
