Did you know that since 2019 Microsoft have had a Power Platform daily usage limit per user in place? See Requests limits and allocations – Power Platform | Microsoft Docs

It is unlikely that you knew this as the limits have not been enforced, that is until now!! With the go live in May 2022 of Power Platform Request usage reporting in the Power Platform Admin Centre, Microsoft have now started the 6 month countdown to enforcement so impacts will be seen in late 2022. The result may mean ordering capacity add-ons for your high activity users.

Transition Period

Over the coming six month transition period, request limits will be higher than final enforcement limits.

Performance profile	Limits during transition period	Limits after transition period
Low	10,000	6000
Medium	100,000	40,000
High	500,000	250,000

Looking at the impacts on specific licence types the Dynamics Team Member users are certainly ones to look at closely as the limits during transition are set at 100K but drop to 5K on enforcement!!

Actions

During the transition period review and understand the reports now available in the Power Platform Admin Centre, analyse your data for trends and identify users who exceed the daily usage limitations.

The smartest JavaScript IDE that uses the full power of the modern JavaScript ecosystem. WebStorm is a powerful IDE for JavaScript development which helps you write high quality code quickly, regardless of how complex your projects might be.

Our partner, JetBrains, truly value customer feedback and collect this through various channels. One of these channels is their Early Access Programs or EAP which allows customers to use the pre release builds of JetBrains products such as WebStorm. You can use the EAP to evaluate features of the product, report bugs and suggest new features which will then be available for the next release.

There are many advantages of participating in JetBrains EAPs which we outline below:

Your organisation will be on of the first to try out the latest enhancements and newest features. Everyone else will only get to try these out once the stable version is released.
Your organisation will have an impact on the product development which can be amended based on feedback that you have provided. JetBrains often change aspects of the product or decide to not turn on certain features in a stable release due to the feedback received from EAP users.
Get awarded for sharing your feedback where you may be able to get a free WebStorm licence. When the EAP ends, JetBrains review all customers who have reported problems on their issue tracker and give away free licenses to the most active users.
The EAP allows you to use pre release versions of JetBrains products for free.
The EAP happens three times a year, normally starting at the end of January, May and September and will usually last two months.

JetBrains value their customers feedback so much so and it is that customer centric mindset that drives their creation of the strongest, most effective developer tools around.
