PowerBI Premium Capacity Limits

Different websites are giving different answers for max Model size and Max storage capacity. Now I saw the 100 GB limit of Premium is gone and it is going to capacity purchased. There is Premium PPU for 20$ per month. So how does the capacity for that work ?I saw somewhere that capacity will be allocated based how many Users have PPU in the org. But is there any calculation for this? Max semantic model size , Max storage how will it affect performance? How is it varying from Shared workspace over a capacity? A documentation regarding this which is trustable as of now is also fine

The picture is older Capacity limits i guess

At the end of the day the only limit that really counts is the 10 GB limit per partition.  But even there it is not clear if that is compressed or uncompressed.

 

In general whatever part of your semantic model you refresh cannot consume more than half of the capacity memory during said refresh.
