Thank you for the answer :)

Unfortunately, I've made mistake in the previous post. We don't have Power BI Premium, but Power BI Embedded. It is confusing, we have a diamond next to the Workspace name and the tooltip saying "PowerBI Premium".

Are there any server side memory tricks for Power BI Embedded?

And what should be the memory consumption when nothing is running on the server?
We sometimes have 5 GB and sometimes 3 GB in such cases. How to check what's running/working on the server?

 

EDIT: Here is today chart from portal.azure.com with memory consumption. During night it was on 4.8 GB level, then it jumped to more than 6 GB (when reports refreshes started) and suddenly it decreased to 3.4 GB (even when the reports refreshes are still running). Could someone explain me, how the memory behaves on the PowerBI Embedded server?

I'm quite sure no one uses PowerBI during night.


Thank you in advance :)
