Fabric Copilot capacity is a new billing option for Power BI and Fabric that removes the restriction that has kept Power BI Pro, Premium Per-User, and some Fabric users from accessing Copilot in Power BI and Fabric. The billing option allows customers to grant users access to Copilot in Power BI and Fabric and charge their Copilot costs against specific Fabric deployments. The billing option will mostly benefit Power BI developers who build datasets and reports as well as Fabric developers who create machine learning processes, pipelines, and lakehouses.
