PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
An admin needs to view the capacity add-ons purchased for a tenant, including AI Builder credits. Where should the admin go?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the Power Platform admin center's Billing > Licenses (which shows license assignments) with Resources > Capacity (which shows add-on credits), or mistakenly think the Microsoft 365 admin center or Azure portal handles Power Platform capacity management.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Power Platform admin center > Resources > Capacity
The Power Platform admin center is the dedicated management interface for Power Platform resources, including capacity add-ons and AI Builder credits. Under Resources > Capacity, admins can view detailed breakdowns of capacity entitlements, such as database, file, log, and add-on credits like AI Builder service credits. This is the correct location because it provides tenant-level capacity monitoring specific to Power Platform, not general licensing or Azure billing.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Power Platform admin center > Billing > Licenses
Why it's wrong here
Billing > Licenses lists user subscription licences, not capacity add-ons such as AI Builder credits. Those consumable add-ons are tracked under the Capacity page, where the admin selects the add-on type to view purchased and consumed amounts. The Licenses view would be used to assign or manage per-user Power Apps and Flow licences.
- ✗
Microsoft 365 admin center > Billing > Licenses
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft 365 admin center > Billing > Licenses lists Microsoft 365 subscriptions, not Power Platform capacity add-ons like AI Builder credits. It is tempting because it is a familiar licence view, but AI Builder credits are tenant capacity, viewed in the Power Platform admin center > Billing > Licenses.
- ✓
Power Platform admin center > Resources > Capacity
Why this is correct
Capacity add-ons, including AI Builder credits, are consumed tenant-wide rather than per environment, so they are tracked under Resources > Capacity in the Power Platform admin center. This satisfies the requirement to view purchased add-ons for the whole tenant.
- ✗
Azure portal > Cost Management + Billing
Why it's wrong here
Azure Cost Management + Billing shows Azure subscription spend, not Power Platform capacity add-ons such as AI Builder credits. It is tempting because it is Microsoft's billing surface, but it tracks Azure consumption; the Power Platform admin center > Billing > Licenses is where tenant capacity add-ons are viewed.
