Hi Trish_Rye

 

A drop from ~6000 >> ~100 usually means the backend telemetry/criteria for “unused” shifted (any recent view/query/refresh now counts as “used”), not that your script broke.

Sanity checks

  • Confirm the caller still has admin/SPN visibility to all workspaces (incl. new Fabric workspaces/capacities).

  • Cross-check with Admin Activity Events (last 60–90 days) for ExecuteQuery, ViewReport, Refresh by DatasetId.

  • Spot-check a few workspaces: compare this API vs. refresh history + activity events.

  • Run on smaller scopes to rule out throttling/sampling.

  • If the counts still don’t line up, it’s likely a preview regression >> open a Microsoft support ticket with sample DatasetIds and timestamps.
