Summary:
A combined limit of 1000 Fabric and Power BI items per workspace will be enforced starting late March 2025. Workspaces exceeding this limit by April 10, 2025, will have a 180-day grace period. Admins should assess and manage item counts, with guidance available in the Admin Monitoring workspace.
Details:
We're making some changes to the total number of items that can be created in a Fabric workspace. Currently, there are limits on the number of Power BI items allowed in a workspace, but no such limits for Fabric items. With this change, there will be a combined limit of 1000 Fabric and Power BI items per workspace. i.e. a workspace can have a total of 1000 Fabric and Power BI items. This would help ensure quality of service for users, by preventing capacity overload due to too many items in a Fabric workspace. For tenants where Fabric is not enabled, the existing limits of 1000 Power BI items per workspace will continue to apply.
[When this will happen:]
This change will start rolling out from late March 2025, and will finish on mid-April 2025.

explanation for non-techies**
Imagine a Fabric workspace as a closet where you store your clothes. Right now, you can put as many clothes as you want in there, but soon, there will be a limit. This change is like deciding that your closet can only hold 1000 pieces of clothing. This includes both shirts (Fabric items) and pants (Power BI items).
The reason for this limit is to prevent the closet from becoming too full, which can make it hard to find what you need and keep everything organized. Similarly, having too many items in a workspace can slow things down and make it difficult to manage. By setting a limit, it ensures that everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
Starting in late March 2025, this limit will be enforced. If your workspace already has fewer than 1000 items, once you reach that number, you won't be able to add more until you remove some. If your workspace already has more than 1000 items by April 10, 2025, you'll have a 180-day grace period to tidy up. After this period, you won't be able to add new items unless you reduce the count below 1000.
Admins, think of yourselves as the closet organizers. You need to keep track of how many items are in each workspace and plan how to manage them. This might mean removing old or unused items to make space for new ones. You can find the total number of items in each workspace in the Admin Monitoring workspace, much like checking a list of what's in your closet. This helps you make informed decisions about what to keep and what to remove.
