General troubleshooting

Find technical content to help you troubleshoot AI Builder, Dataverse, and Power Platform products at Microsoft Power Platform troubleshooting.

Storage (out of capacity)

  • Make sure that you understand how capacity works. Learn more in Dataverse capacity-based storage details.

  • Check your storage consumption in the Power Platform admin center. The Summary tab on the Capacity page shows how much storage capacity your organization is using and where. Learn more in Capacity page details.

  • If your capacity shows as 0% in the Storage capacity usage section of the summary, it means that you don't have a valid Dataverse subscription. Ask your Microsoft reseller or billing team for details.

  • If your consumption is close to 100%, check for where you might be able to delete data or resources you no longer need. Learn more in Free up storage space.

  • You can also use a Tabular Data Stream endpoint to emulate a SQL data connection to check the number of records in a table. Learn more in Use SQL to query data.

  • If you can't create, copy, or restore environments, check your storage consumption. If you're out of storage, you can't perform these environment operations.

  • Developer environments, Microsoft Dataverse for Teams environments (2 GB), support instances that Microsoft Support creates as part of troubleshooting, and default environments (3 GB) don't consume storage. Learn more in Power Platform environments overview.

Licensing

  • Make sure that you understand how the licensing model works and what your licenses entitle you to:

  • Be aware of the default storage granted by subscription and the amount of storage granted for full licenses. Default storage isn't cumulative for Dynamics 365 or Power Platform licenses.

  • The Dynamics 365 Team Members license is a named user subscription that gives business users lightweight access to basic functionality of any Dynamics 365 apps. As an organization adopts more Dynamics 365 apps, any user who was previously licensed with a Dynamics 365 Team Members subscription is licensed to access the new apps as well. Learn more in Dynamics 365 Team Members license.

User access

Life cycle operations (create, copy, restore, and delete environments)

  • You can restore a production environment to a sandbox environment only.

  • Backups of production environments are retained for 28 days, and sandbox backups are retained for seven days. You can't extend the retention period, including by on-demand backup. Learn more in Back up and restore environments.

  • You can copy a managed environment to a managed environment only. Learn more in Managed Environments overview.

  • You can restore a deleted environment within seven days. Learn more in Recover environment.

  • Default environments limit the operations you can perform. Any operation needs Microsoft Support help. Learn more in Manage the default environment.

  • Life cycle operations persist for 48 hours before failing completely. The life cycle process passes through different steps, with each one managed by different teams.

  • A managed environment can be unmanaged using PowerShell commands to remove the Managed Environments property. Learn more in Disable Managed Environments using PowerShell.

  • Make sure that you understand the different types of environments. Learn more in Power Platform environments overview.
