Microsoft Fabric lets you pause and resume your capacity. When your capacity isn't operational, you can pause it to enable cost savings for your organization. Later, when you want to resume work on your capacity, you can reactivate it.
If your capacity is being throttled, pausing it stops the throttling and returns your capacity to a healthy state immediately. This behavior enables you to pause your capacity as a self-service mechanism that ends throttling.
Important
Pausing a capacity can prevent Microsoft Fabric content from being available. Before you pause your capacity, make sure the capacity is not being used.
Select the Microsoft Fabric service to see your capacities. You can search for Microsoft Fabric in the search menu.
Select the capacity you want to pause.
Select Pause.
Select Yes to confirm you want to pause the capacity.
Resume your capacity
Restart usage by resuming your capacity. Resuming your capacity also resumes billing. Content assigned to this capacity becomes available once the capacity is resumed.
