"Background Rejection" blocking report access/load
Hi gabrielPerson
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
Capacity admins set a background operations rejection threshold and a background operations recovery threshold when they enable surge protection.
Capacity admins should assess usage patterns before setting rejection and recovery thresholds. To do this, use the Microsoft Fabric Capacity Metrics app. On the Compute page, check the Background rejection, Interactive rejection, and Utilization charts for relevant data.

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
Thank you
hello, i am one of the capacity admins and still couldn't understand why the visuals of my reports (import mode) weren't loading after surge protection was activated. It should've blocked only background operations. Interactive Delay was on 80%, Interactive rejection was under 100% and background rejection was on 55% (our surge protection threshold).
Hi gabrielPerson
When an artifact gets impacted by this feature the expected error is "CapacityLimitExceeded" or "CapacityLimitExceededSurgeProtection". This error can be observed on the resource logs or in Monitoring Hub.You can check here what Power BI operations are considered Interactive and Background here

Thank youYes, i am aware of the "CapacityLimitExceeded" or the "CapacityLimitExceededSurgeProtection" error messages in the data refresh process.
Altough i've never seen a "Cannot load model"/"Unable to load model schema" error while having Surge Protection active (we we're not on Interactive Rejection state).
