Question

Users of a Power BI report backed by a Fabric warehouse complain that visuals take an unusually long time to render during business hours. You open the Microsoft Fabric Capacity Metrics app and see that during peak periods the capacity shows sustained overloading, with the timepoint detail indicating a high volume of carryforward from earlier background operations. Interactive operations are experiencing an added delay before execution. Which throttling stage is the capacity currently in, and what does it mean for these interactive queries?

Accepted Answer

Interactive Delay — future interactive requests are delayed at submission time because recent overuse exceeds the 10-minute threshold, but they still complete.

Answer

Interactive Rejection — all interactive requests are immediately blocked and return errors until the overload clears.

Answer

Background Rejection — scheduled background jobs are rejected while interactive queries continue to run normally without any delay.

Answer

No throttling occurs; the delay is caused only by missing statistics on the warehouse tables and is unrelated to capacity utilization.
