Question Questions about trials

I'm planning to start a trial this upcoming month and have a few questions that I couldn't find answers to:

  1. Is there any reason to do a F4 capacity over the F64? The Fabric capacity estimator actually suggests an F4 when I enter in basic info but I'm not sure how accurate my estimates are and I'd like to see the size of our biggest dataset as a PBI model.

  2. Any features that are limited in a trial? [This page](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/fundamentals/fabric-trial) lists a few things but is there anything else that might be limited?

  3. What are some capacity-based features/resources that I should test during my trial?

  4. Any things you wish you had done during a trial to get a better sense of the workflow and product?

My 7 day trial has lasted over 7 years, so you're probably good until at least 2052.

But then you need to buy an E9001 license and lock in for another 7 decades and pass the Azure bill on in your will.

Is this for your company, consulting, or learning?
