Question about Exceeded Capacity Messages in Power BI

Hi, Community!

I have a question regarding the Power BI environment. I am conducting some capacity tests and am struggling to understand the calculations or the causes of the slowdowns that are occurring.

I have attached a usage chart of my environment.

Although my capacity utilization is far from reaching 100%, I am facing messages stating that the capacity has been exceeded. I would like to understand the reason for this.

Any help or guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

The only thing that makes sense here is when you tried to refresh yours, there are already 40 datasets being process in parallel (maybe from different workspaces) i.e. max Model Refresh Parallelism (MRP) that was mentioned earlier.

Otherwise like you said, your CU has not reached its limit yet, but there is a different limit on MRP

Hi @Xxx_Userpwbi ,

 What capacity are you using? Are you exceeding any of the limits published here like Model Refresh Parallelism?

My capacity is F64, and no semantic model is exceeding the limit of this capacity.
