Power BI embedded - Data set limit size and other questions

[campelliann]

Hi there,

I am a PRO user, and from my understanding i can store up to 10 GB in dataset size (correct me if I am wrong). If I need more, I will have to upgrade my account to Premium per user...

Now how does this match with Power Bi Embedded node 1 https://azure.microsoft.com/pt-pt/pricing/details/power-bi-embedded/
Can I only refresh 3GB at a time? 

Many thanks

Hi. Those are different size of measures. 

Pro will you store up to 10gb of many files in a workspace with a limit of 1gb of data model for each dataset. If you have a data model higher than 1gb you need to go with AAS, Embed or Premium.

PowerBi Embedded is capacity. You pay for an "X" amount of ram that can be used for anything. The 3gb is the size of the memory running at the same time. You can probably store a lot more than 3 gb, but it will crash if you have 6gb model running right there. The main characteristic for embed is "embeding" in a web app. However it's an approach for publishing a model bigger than 1gb too.

I hope that make sense
