We have reserved Azure Synapse Analytics for 3 yrs with 500 DWU. After 1 yr, we decided to reduce the DWU from 500 to 300. The question here is,

  1. Can we reduce the dwu through RESERVATIONS in Azure portal? (Yes/No)
  2. If YES, the will we get the refund for the balance 200 DWU?
  3. If NO, how to reduce the DWU from the existing reservation? Do we have to cancel the existing reservation and recreate a new one?

    Hello @Lalitha S !

    1. No, you cannot directly reduce the DWU (Data Warehouse Units) of an existing reservation in the Azure portal.
    2. N/A
    3. You need to cancel your existing reservation and then purchase a new reservation with the desired DWU level.

    I hope this helps!
