Fabric Capacity

Read capacity utilization and per-item CU from the Microsoft Fabric Capacity Metrics semantic model with fab, and start or pause a capacity. Invoke the fabric-cli skill alongside this one; its references/capacity-cost.md covers budget math, smoothing and throttling.

Where the numbers live

live (DirectQuery, CapacityMetricsCES connector):
  CU Detail:                 per 30 s timepoint; Interactive, Background, CU limit, SKU
  Timepoint CU Detail:       same, per timepoint detail page
  Metrics By Item [And Day|And Hour|And Operation]: CU (s), Duration (s), Operations, Users per item
  System Events:             pause, resume, state changes
import (fresh only after a model refresh; Pro workspace = 8 refreshes a day):
  Capacities, Items, Workspaces, Timepoints/Dates calendars
  Average utilization (last 1 hour | last 24 hours | last 7 days): measures on the Health page
not available:               Azure Monitor has no metrics namespace for Microsoft.Fabric/capacities

Anything that must be current (a status bar, "what is using the capacity now") needs the DirectQuery tables.
