Power BI Premium EM1- exceed the number of available v-cores

Hello,

 

In our organization we are using Power BI Premium EM1. 

 

In the Power BI Service (Admin portal-->Capacity settings) we have a message (in red background) like this:

 

'You have exceeded the number of available v-cores. You can reduce your v-core usage by decreasing the size of one or more capacities, or you can purchase more v-cores. If you don't take action, capacities will be suspended soon'

 

Why we have that kind of message ? And how can we 'take action' ? We have a lot of reports in our capacity and all of the organization using this reports so we need to help before "suspend" capacity..

 

Thanks in advance for yours responses.

Hi @mcs007,

Based on my research, the different capacity node has different limitation, you could refer to below link to see the details about Premium capacity nodes:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-premium#premium-capacity-nodes

And your problem may due to you do not have available v-cores to allocate, you could refer below link to see the information about how to manage your capacity:

I am having the same problem, and though i've read these suggested documents, theres no explanation about how a 'core' is used, so I have no idea how to determine what is using all my cores or how to fix the problem.
