Limit to embedded token generation

Thank you, Anonymous 

Hi mail2vjj,

It's not an HTML link to click on. It's a web API end point to send HTTP requests to.

Read about the Power BI REST API here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/

Hello,

The Power BI Embedded service doest not limit number of token, but I found that It limit the number of render times.

For the lowest option is 300 renders / hour, does it mean if I refresh my website (embed a PBI report) > 300 times, it will hit the limitation

Hi ducnv,

I think it is not based on the number of renders but rather on how many query requests have been sent.

They both might be the same thing, but I am not sure.

If you read the 1st response after my question, a community support team member has said that there is a limit to the number of token generation.

This token generation limitation is only for the testing environment since it is removed once, capacity has been purchased.

There is no information regarding the limit of token generation and what will happen once all the tokens are exhausted.

The only information that I have read so far is that, there is a limit, that is it.

I have read most of the documentation on it, so if you happen to find something, please do let me know and reply to the thread.

Thank you,

Did you ever find the limit? We are in the same dilema as to whether a dedicated capacity is required to take the embed token route

Thanks,

You definitely need capacity for your production load, the smallest instance is A1 with around 300 renders per hour, which actually nothing, just an estimated value, requests more than that will be queued and will serve with delay.You can assign lowest capacity and do stress testing on your application to see if you could break the capacity.

Hello everyone,

Sorry was not able to respond eariler, as I was out of office for a couple of days.

To answer the question, no I was not able to find out the limit to the embedded tokens, but one of the previous replies has some code that can be used in the app, to find out the limit. I was not able to figure out how to use it.

A1 is the smallest capcity that can be used with PBI embedded and I think there is a white paper by Microsoft, that tells us about the stress test on it.

Here is the link:

Again, there is no clear answer so far, to the number of embedded tokens, MS lets us generate under testing phase, but the white paper should provide some guidance on how to plan capacity purchase.

Thank you,

Hello, I have used a pro account, and I have reached the limit of tokens ... is when the capacity reaches 100:

"additionalInfo": {
        "usage": 100
      }

My question is ... how do I buy the ability to remove the limit? What is the price to buy capacity? Should we go to version A1? How do you get to this version?

I need information on how to buy capacity for tokens ... I want the cheapest model.

thanks.

here is the pricing details: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/power-bi-embedded/

you can purchase Power BI embedded capacity from your Azure portal. After that, you will be able to see that capacity listed in your power bi services workspace edit option and you can attach to it, it will show diamond icon once attached.

When I start power bi embedded, but I don't have any work space in place, will I be charged anything? do they charge for use of the report? I can't spend 612eu per month.

pricing is by capacity running by hour, you can pause the capacity when not needed to reduce the cost.

that is, if I have the service on 24 hours, will I be charged 612eu?
Is there any way they only charge for tokens? or by capacity?

its only by the running hours of selected capacity as of now.
