PPU Concurrent Refresh Capacity

[Imrans123]

Hey all, 

I was wondering if anyone could help. I am planning for Power BI Premium per user for my account with two workspaces both having multiple dataflows and dataset. I was wondering what the concurrent refresh for PPU is. I could find P1 having 6, but nothing on PPU.

In addition, does concurrent refresh account for all refresh assigned premium capacity? i.e. if PPU concurrent is 6, would that mean 6 dataflows for each premium capacity workspace, meaning 12 concurrent refreshs?

Hi @Imrans123 ,

Premium Per User is built upon the Premium platform which has built-in mechanisms assuring PPU users can leverage the platform’s ability to scale. Premium Per user is designed to support enterprise workloads, against Power BI artifact with size limits that are equivalent to that of a P3 (Limitations in Premium Gen2 ).

As the documentation states:

• PPU model refresh parallelism limits depend on the number of licenses your organization has. The lowest PPU model refresh parallelism limit is 40, and the highest is 160.

For a workspace, you cannot assign PPU capacity and Premium capacity at the same time. Therefore you cannot directly add up the concurrent refresh limits of the two capacities.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Hi @Imrans123 

As far as I know this would be the same for the concurrent refreshes in PPU.

Just remeber that everyone who then consumes the dataflows from the PPU workspace would also need a PPU license.
